Hi all,

Does anyone know where can I buy Malarone for malaria here in Doha?

Is it possible to buy it directly in the Pharmacy without medical prescription? If not, where do I have to go to be prescribed?

Thanks in advance!

If you are going to Africa you will also need a Yellow Fever vaccination. It's obligatory to enter some states. You won't get these from a pharmacy either.

When you reach any african country on arrival at the airport or any pharmacy all the medicine available...LONART TAB or ARTEFAN is best in Ghana/Nigeria and Ivory coast etc...

Unfortunately no! I have not heard any country dispense Malarone freely from any clinic... also it is very expensive medicine. global supply for Malarone is very limited

Thanks Zackm. I am planning a trip to Africa, but I have no time to make an appointment in Hamad, due to the lack of time. Can I buy it directly in the Pharmacy? Thanks!

You can only get this from hospital, I am sure that Hamad General Hospital have it, but the other private ones no. BTW why do you need it, this is usually prescribed and taken before you go to regions where Malaria is prominent.
