This tool gives general guidance, not medical advice — always confirm your vaccines with our travel health team.

Malaria tablet dosing
Some destinations also need antimalarial tablets. Tell us who it's for to see the usual dose for each tablet type. The right tablet depends on where you're travelling — we'll confirm everything at your appointment.
Atovaquone 250mg / Proguanil 100mg (adult tablet)
Daily, from 1—2 days before entering the risk area until 7 days after leaving.
Mefloquine 250mg
Weekly, from 2—3 weeks before entering the risk area until 4 weeks after leaving.
The SPC allows use over 5kg, so ¼ tablet may be advised for children 5—9.9kg.
Chloroquine base 155mg
Weekly, from 1 week before entering the risk area until 4 weeks after leaving.
Chloroquine is not effective in areas with significant drug-resistant malaria — check it is recommended for your destination.
Doxycycline 100mg
Daily, from 1—2 days before entering the risk area until 4 weeks after leaving.
Doxycycline is unsuitable for children under 12 years, whatever their weight.
