Description
Indications
The atovaquone and proguanil combination medication serves the purpose of treating a specific type of malaria infection, a severe and potentially fatal condition transmitted by mosquitoes. It is also utilized as a prophylactic measure to prevent a particular type of malaria infection in travelers visiting areas with a high prevalence of the disease. Classified as antimalarials, atovaquone and proguanil function by effectively eradicating the causative organisms responsible for malaria infection.
Uses and Dosage
The atovaquone and proguanil combination is available in tablet form for oral administration. When using it as a malaria preventive measure, you typically begin taking it once daily, one or two days before traveling to a malaria-endemic region. Continue taking it throughout your stay in the area and for seven days after returning.
For malaria treatment, the usual regimen involves taking it once daily for three consecutive days. Always consume atovaquone and proguanil with food or a milky drink and strive to take it at the same time each day.
Take atovaquone and proguanil precisely as directed by your healthcare professional; avoid altering the dosage or frequency without medical guidance.
If swallowing the tablets poses challenges, they can be crushed and mixed with condensed milk just before consumption.
In the event of vomiting within 60 minutes after taking atovaquone and proguanil, administer another full dose to ensure proper intake.

Before commencing this medication, disclose your medical history to your doctor or pharmacist, particularly if you are currently experiencing diarrhea, vomiting, kidney problems, liver problems, mental/mood disorders, or have a history of seizures.
This drug has the potential to cause dizziness. Consuming alcohol or using marijuana may intensify this dizziness. As a precaution, avoid activities that require alertness, such as driving or operating machinery, until you can perform them safely.
