Travelling to regions where malaria is prevalent requires effective prevention measures, as the disease is transmitted through mosquito bites and can cause severe illness. At FirstContact Pharmacy, we provide expert travel health advice and supply a range of anti-malaria tablets to ensure you stay protected while abroad. Malaria is a serious and potentially life-threatening disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite. It is commonly found in Africa, Asia, South America, and certain parts of the Middle East. Preventing malaria is easier than treating it, and taking the right antimalarial medication is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of infection.
