MALARIA
Every year many hundreds of travelers from the UK catch malaria and in tens of cases it is fatal. Its symptoms can start very rapidly. The correct anti-malarial medication is essential. We offer a Private Malaria Prevention Service at My Private Chemist. After a confidential assessment by a trained Pharmacist, the correct anti-malarial medication is supplied and appropriate advice is given to the patient.
JET LAG
Jet lag is a common condition that disrupts sleep patterns and causes fatigue after long-distance travel across different time zones. Adapting gradually to the new time zone and implementing good sleep habits can help. We offer prescription-strength melatonin (Circadin) to treat jet lag without a prescription.
TRAVELLERS' DIARRHOEA
Travellers’ diarrhoea is spread mainly through food and water but it can also spread from person to person. It is one of the most common health problems experienced during travel. Following a consultation to assess suitability, we can provide antibiotic treatment to treat and reduce the symptoms.

It can put a damper on your travels with symptoms of headache, feeling/being sick, dizziness, tiredness, loss of appetite, shortness of breath. We are able to offer acetazolamide, a medication that can prevent, as well as treat altitude sickness.
