Prevent malaria by taking antimalarial medications, using insect repellent, sleeping under mosquito nets, and wearing protective clothing.

Medications include Doxycycline and Malarone, which are effective in preventing malaria.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and increased sensitivity to sunlight.

Start taking medication one to two days before entering a malaria-risk area and continue for the duration of the stay and a period after leaving.

Travellers to regions where malaria is common, such as parts of Africa, Asia, and South America, are at risk.
