Malaria remains one of the leading causes of illness in Nigeria. At Justrite Pharmacy, we are committed to helping you stay informed, safe, and healthy.

What is Malaria?

Malaria is a serious disease caused by parasites transmitted through the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito.

It is important to note that malaria is not caused by stress or diet.

Common Symptoms of Malaria

Recognizing symptoms early can help ensure quick and effective treatment. Watch out for:

• Fever
• Headache
• Chills and sweating
• Body weakness
• Nausea and vomiting
• Loss of appetite

Why Testing Is Important

Always confirm malaria before starting treatment. Self-medication can lead to wrong drug use and delayed recovery.

Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are available at Justrite Pharmacy to help you get accurate results quickly.

Treatment of Malaria

The recommended treatment for malaria is Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACTs).

When undergoing treatment:

• Always complete your full dosage
• Do not stop medication when you start feeling better
• Avoid mixing medications without professional guidance

Prevention Tips

Preventing mosquito bites is the best way to reduce your risk of malaria:

• Use insecticide-treated nets
• Eliminate stagnant water around your home
• Use mosquito repellents and sprays
• Install window nets
• Wear protective clothing, especially at night

When to Seek Medical Help

Seek immediate medical attention if symptoms worsen or persist, especially if you experience:

• Persistent fever
• Vomiting
• Severe weakness
• Convulsions
