Safety, Warnings, and Interactions

Do not use Paludrine & Avloclor if you are allergic to any ingredients. Avoid using this regimen if you are taking amiodarone due to potential heart rhythm risks. Tell your clinician about any heart conditions, epilepsy, liver or kidney disease, psoriasis, or eye conditions, and disclose all current medicines before starting antimalarials.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a clinician before use. Travel-health advice should weigh destination risk, trimester, and alternatives.

Possible Side Effects

Side effects vary between individuals. Possible effects may include gastrointestinal upset, headache, dizziness, sleep disturbance, or skin reactions. If you experience severe symptoms or signs of an allergic reaction, stop the medicine and seek medical advice.

How to Maximise Malaria Protection

Antimalarial tablets reduce risk but do not guarantee protection. Combine tablets with bite avoidance:
• Use DEET or picaridin repellent
• Wear long sleeves and trousers in the evening
• Sleep under insecticide-treated bed nets where appropriate
• Use air conditioning or screened rooms when possible
