Do you need malaria medication?

If you are travelling abroad, particularly in Africa, Asia and South America, you should look up the risk of malaria. All four forms of malaria can cause serious illness and so antimalarial tablets are recommended in any country where there is a significant risk.

The course of tablets should start before you leave and end around four weeks after return. Your pharmacist can also advise you on insect repellents as well to lower your risk further.
