Malaria Tablets UK 2026: Getting Advice, Routes and Why No Price Is Shown
What nhs.uk says about preventing malaria before travel, where to get advice, what to ask a pharmacy or travel clinic, and why this site shows no antimalarial price.
Quick answer
- No price is shown. This site does not pair antimalarial medicines, or any prescription medicine, with a price.
- Get advice early. nhs.uk says to get advice from a GP, nurse, pharmacist or travel clinic before you go, ideally at least 4 to 6 weeks before you travel, though you can still get advice at the last minute (read 26 October 2026).
- Prevention is two things: nhs.uk says you can prevent malaria by taking antimalarial medicine and trying to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes.
Questions to ask before you pay
- Is malaria prevention recommended for every part of my itinerary?
- Which medicine is suitable for me, given my health and other medicines?
- How many tablets does the course need, before, during and after travel?
- What is the total cost of the course, and is a consultation or prescription fee charged on top?
- What side effects should I know about?
- What should I do about mosquito bites as well?

Frequently asked questions
How much do malaria tablets cost in the UK?
No price is shown. This site does not pair antimalarial medicines, or any prescription medicine, with a price. Ask a pharmacy, GP or travel clinic for the full cost of the course, including any consultation or prescription fee, before you commit.
Where do I get advice about malaria tablets?
nhs.uk says that if you are travelling to an area where malaria is found, you should get advice from a GP, nurse, pharmacist or travel clinic before you go, ideally at least 4 to 6 weeks before you travel, though you can still get advice at the last minute.
Which antimalarial is right for me?
That depends on your destination, your health, other medicines you take and your trip, and is decided with the person prescribing. This page does not compare antimalarial medicines.
Where should I get malaria tablets from?
Use a regulated pharmacy, GP or travel clinic, and avoid unverified online sellers. The person supplying the tablets should assess whether they are suitable for you.
