How this medicine works

The DailyMed MALARONE label describes a fixed-dose antimalarial combination of atovaquone and proguanil hydrochloride: atovaquone selectively inhibits parasite mitochondrial electron transport, while proguanil acts mainly through cycloguanil, a dihydrofolate-reductase inhibitor. This explains a pharmacologic pathway; it does not determine travel risk, whether prevention or treatment is needed, product selection, an individual dose or course.

Check the market, names, dosage form and route together

A medicine may use different brand names across markets. Keep the market, brand, generic name, dosage form and route together; one matching field does not prove that two packs are the same or interchangeable.

FOR EVERYDAY QUESTIONS

After the leaflet, continue with the question you still need to check

What this pack is

Malarone is the brand name in this record; atovaquone and proguanil hydrochloride is the generic name. Read both together with the dosage form (oral tablet).

What this page can show

This is a source-traceable public record. It helps you read the product identity and its listed source documents; each market still needs its own current record check.

What to bring to the next conversation

Bring the actual pack, the label or prescription, and a complete medicine list when you speak with a pharmacist or clinician.

PRODUCT PRESENTATION IDENTITY

Strength, pack and device identity

Package strength is not an individual dose. These fields help identify the exact labelled product; they do not calculate how much, how often, a missed-use action, splitting, switching or conversion.

How to read a score line: ‘scored’ or ‘unscored’ first identifies this labelled presentation. A score line by itself does not permit self-splitting, reducing or changing the product. Only an explicit statement in the current label for this exact presentation, checked with a pharmacist against the prescription, can support any further handling.

1 source-backed strength, pack or device records — open the full list

First match the market, dosage form and labelled amount on the pack in hand. The number of tablets, sachets or devices in a pack is not a personal dose or schedule.

LABEL READING · NOT A PRESCRIPTION

MALARONE label reading: adult and paediatric tablets contain two components and cannot be read from tablet count alone

Reading level: drug-specific label reading. This record has been expanded around its dosage form or a higher-risk reading question; the current target-market label and professional review still apply.

Using the FDA's 2013 U.S. MALARONE label as an entry point, this checks atovaquone/proguanil hydrochloride, adult or paediatric tablets, two components, package and target market; it does not provide an individual's prevention or treatment amount, make-up use, switching or combination plan.

  • The adult-tablet label states atovaquone 250 mg plus proguanil hydrochloride 100 mg per tablet; paediatric tablets are a different two-component product. A shared brand, tablet count or one generic name does not establish self-conversion or interchangeability.
  • Destination, exposure risk, diagnosis, liver/kidney status, possible pregnancy, vomiting/diarrhoea and the complete medicine list affect professional judgement; do not self-start, make up, extend, stop or combine with another anti-infective from travel dates or a webpage.
  • With fever, chills, mental-status change, persistent vomiting/diarrhoea, jaundice, breathing difficulty or another acute issue during or after travel, use timely local medical support and report destinations, dates and the actual package.

PHARMACOVIGILANCE · OFFICIAL ROUTES

Check safety information in the right market

Start with the public label or product record linked to this dossier, then use the official safety routes below for the market that applies to the medicine in hand.

Match five details before using a safety record

  1. Brand and generic nameBoth must match the medicine named by the record.
  2. Dosage form and strengthTablet, capsule, injection, inhaler, patch and eye drop are not interchangeable.
  3. Market and notice dateA record applies only to the country or region and date it names.
  4. Lot, pack and manufacturerRecord these only when the official notice specifically names them.
  5. Current product informationA historical record may have been superseded by the current label.

This checklist only helps organise the right question. It does not create a personal conclusion about stopping, switching, dose, combination or suitability.

PACK · LABEL · MEDICINE LIST

Six checks for this medicine pack

Use this card to organise questions about Malarone (atovaquone and proguanil hydrochloride). Keep the exact pack, its current label and the full medicine list together.

  1. Identify the exact product

    Malarone is the brand in this record and atovaquone and proguanil hydrochloride is the active-ingredient name. Check both with the dosage form (Adult and paediatric tablets(as listed in the 2013 FDA label archive)) and the market on the actual pack.

  2. Read the labelled strength in context

    mg, mcg, mg/mL or a percentage describes the labelled amount in one tablet, capsule, measured volume, spray or other unit. It is not an answer to how many units a person should take.

  3. Check before splitting or opening

    Before splitting, crushing, chewing or opening anything, find an explicit instruction for this exact product in its current label and ask a pharmacist. A score line or a previous pack is not enough by itself.

  4. Put every product on one list

    Include prescriptions, over-the-counter products, eye drops, creams, vitamins, minerals, herbs and supplements. A pharmacist or prescriber needs the whole list before any combination, alternation, switch or stop is considered.

  5. Ask a specific pharmacogenetics question

    Ask which medicine, which gene and what clinical decision a result could change. A gene–drug association does not mean broad genetic testing is needed for everyone and must not be used to change treatment without professional review.

  6. Know when to seek urgent help

    For a suspected overdose, a severe allergic reaction, fainting or difficulty breathing, use the local emergency or poison-information service now. Do not wait for a website reply or alter several medicines to test what caused it.

This card does not calculate a dose, decide whether medicines can be combined, or replace a clinician or pharmacist. Market-specific current labels and the person's full context still need review.

HOW IT WORKS · NOT A TREATMENT PLAN

How atovaquone/proguanil works: its two ingredients act on different pathways needed for parasite nucleic-acid replication

  • “Two ingredients, two pathways” does not permit self-combining, increasing, alternating or substituting atovaquone, proguanil, another antimalarial or leftovers. Destination, exposure timing, exact product, weight-related information, history, complete medicine list and current target-market guidance all need professional confirmation together.
  • Mechanism cannot make adult and paediatric tablets interchangeable by tablet count or one number. In a fixed-dose combination, each ingredient, each tablet strength, the intended population and actual pack are all part of product identity; do not derive an individual regimen from a webpage.
  • The label includes warnings related to other medicines and serious symptoms. With anticoagulants, anti-infectives or multiple medicines, or persistent vomiting, severe diarrhoea, rash, breathing trouble or another acute concern, contact local medical support promptly; do not self-start, redose, stop or switch based only on a mechanism page.

How to read this record

Read each document in its stated market, date and dosage-form context. A historical record is not a current label and does not support individual medical, substitution or purchasing conclusions.

Keep international and mainland China records separate

This page has a U.S. public history/regulatory archive but no mainland China record for this specific product. That does not establish whether the medicine exists, is approved or is available in mainland China. Verify product identity, dosage form, strength, holder and the current label item by item.

RECORD FAQ

Record questions

Does a label archive represent current product information?

Not automatically. The archive locates a source; each point needs verification against the target market’s current official label.

Why are price and originator/generic conclusions not shown?

Those conclusions require separately complete and human-reviewed product, dosage-form, strength, pack, market, date and primary-record fields; one label file is insufficient.
