Is that the real cost of Malarone world wide or was I nearly the victim of a local stitch up by the importers of Glaxo-Wellcome drugs? And although Malarone is a relatively new drug, does anybody know of a generic copy that is being made anywhere?
It's relatively new and it costs about £600m to bring a drug to market so they have to make their money back somehow. It's always worth bargaining with pharmacists, though.
Almost certainly, it is available as a pirate generic copy in India or SE Asia. The fancy ingredient is atovaquone. The bog standard, cheap ingredient is proguanil.
