Maloff Protect is a form of malaria prevention medication, also known as malaria chemoprophylaxis.
Both ingredients prevent the production of the P. falciparum parasite, which is the most serious form of human malaria.
Once bitten by a mosquito carrying the parasite, it will enter the bloodstream and reproduce within the red blood cells. However, Maloff Protect will work to:
- Halt the production of substances needed for the parasite to reproduce.
- Prevent the action of a compound found in the parasite.
