Antimalarial Medications
Some drugs used to prevent malaria (antimalarials) carry a risk for psoriasis patients.
The British National Travel Health Network and Centre says that there is no known psoriasis risk with the antimalarial medications proguanil, atovaquone/proguanil or mefloquine.
If you will be travelling to (or living in) a malaria-prone area, it’s good to know that there are more options than a plain “psoriasis or malaria” choice. The answer can be “neither.”
