If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, you should speak to your doctor before taking any malaria tablets.
Pregnant women are at high risk of complications if they get malaria, so we would recommend delaying any travel to malaria zones until after your pregnancy, to protect yourself and your unborn child.
If there is no way to avoid travelling to a malaria zone during your pregnancy, then your doctor may recommend a course of malaria tablets, but you should only take these if you have been told to do so by a doctor.
