Add Arakoda to Your List of Malaria Prophylaxis Options

August 2019

Arakoda (air-uh-KOH-duh, tafenoquine) will be the first new med approved in nearly 20 years to prevent malaria in adults.

It's given once daily for 3 days before travel to any endemic area...once WEEKLY during travel...and then one dose after returning.

Expect many patients to prefer this simpler dosing.
