What is Aralen used for?


Aralen belongs to a group of medicines called anti-malarials. Aralen can be taken in certain parts of the world to help prevent malaria. This is a serious disease spread by infected mosquitoes. Aralen will give some degree of protection (prophylaxis) against malaria in certain countries. Always take Aralen exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Start taking this medicine one week before you enter the malaria area. You must continue to take it during your stay. You must keep taking this medicine for 4 weeks after leaving the malaria area. For adults and children, take two Aralen tablets once a week on the same day each week. Take the tablet after food. Swallow the tablet(s), or part tablets, whole with a drink of water.

What Are The Possible Side Effects of Aralen?


Some of the common side effects of Aralen may include dizziness, muscle spasms, skin rashes, blurred eyesight, changes in mood, insomnia, hearing loss, stomach upset, and low blood glucose levels. Some of the serious side effects include allergic reaction, hallucinations, abnormal heart rhythm, inflammation of lungs, convulsions, loss of eyesight, and reduced number of blood cells, bruising easily, breathlessness. These are not all the possible side effects of Aralen. In case of any unexpected effect, consult your healthcare professional immediately.

Are there any Precautions and Drug interactions for Aralen?


When you are taking this medicine to prevent malaria, you should also reduce the chances of being bitten by mosquitoes by wearing light-colored, long-sleeved clothing and long trousers when you are outside after sunset and using insect repellent creams or sprays on parts of your body not covered by clothing.
