Hello,
They are practically the same.- I would go for marlone.- But do ask your Dr. or pharmacist first, for safety issues.-
Maralone (atovaquone) and proguanil are medications to treat malaria, a disease caused by parasites. These medicines work by interfering with the growth of parasites in the red blood cells of the human body.-
Chloroquine is an antimalarial drug. The exact way that chloroquine works is unknown.
Have a great trip.-
