bonjour
moi g l adresse d une autre pharma + proche de chez moi dans le 93:
lorsqu on m a annoncé l prix de la malarone dans ma pharmacie habituelle, g vite rechercher une pharmacie qui faisait des prix interessant.
Heureusement pour moi, la grande pharmacie a la sortie du metro fort d aubervilliers (ligne7) vend la boite de malarone adulte 12cp à 35.95 et l enfant a 14.60. le lariam et la savarine n'est pas du tout cher non plus pour 38 et 19 euros.
Par contre inutile d y aller sans ordonnance d'un medecin: le pharmacien m' a fait retourner chez moi pour la chercher
voila l adresse pharmacie du centre 156 rue daniel casanova 93300 aubervilliers 01 43 52 49 86
bon voyage a tous
Pour ceux et celles qui cherchent un traitement pas chère de Malarone sur Lyon je leur conseil d'aller à la grande pharmacie des cordeliers (métro cordelier) rue de la République. La boite de 12 pour adulte se vend à 33 euros contre 45 euros prix conseillé.
Normalement j'aime pas faire de la pub pour qui que ce soit mais vu les différences de prix pratiqués entre les pharmacies et vu que le prix est totalement libre pour les pharmaciens je trouve qu'on peux faire jouer la concurrence non? (normalement j'aime pas trop la concurrence)
Il est scandaleux que les labos se gavent à ce point avec ce médoc car il n'est pas remboursé. Aux pharmaciens de faire des efforts pour gagner des patients/clients...
L'Etat ne pourrait-il pas encadrer les prix à défaut de rembourser ce médoc?
Moi je me retrouve à partir en Inde pendant la mousson et si j'achète ce traitement j'en ai pour 180 euros vu que je reste 8 semaines dans des zones de palu niveau 2 (et oui en plus c'est la mousson). Donc résulta des courses je ne vais pas me protéger au niveau médicamenteux car je ne gagne que 400 euros pas mois (RMI)! Bien sur j'utiliserais moustiquaire et répulsif mais quand même c'est pas normal que je ne puisse prendre un médicament pour me protéger si c'est mon choix...
Alors bien sur il existe la savarine c'est un peu moins chère mais quand même vu qu'il faut le prendre 1 mois au retour ça coute quand même pas mal...
Je rappel qu'avec 180 euros on vit tranquille pendant 2 semaines en Inde (et plutôt bien encore) y a comme un truc qui cloche Vivement un vaccin!
Pose à nouveau la question à ton médecin mais pour l'Inde en zone 2 (hors Assam zone 3) mon médecin m'a proposé entre autres la doxycycline qui est bien moins chère que Savarine ou Malarone. Effet secondaire notable : c'est photosensibilisant (gaffe aux coups de soleil!). A toi de voir.
J'ai lu sur un autre forum (mais le message date d'un an) qu'il existait même un générique à la doxycycline, ça s'appelle Granudoxy Gé et c'est donc remboursé par la sécu.
A vérifier avec le médecin bien sûr...
Sur internet, ils indiquent environ 12 euros la boite de 28 Doxypalu, et 7, 50 euro la boite de 28 Granudoxy (remboursé apparemment), ça va encore...
Mais ce sont des traitements zone 3, et l'Inde est zone 2, c'est donc peut-être prendre un peu trop de risques d'effets secondaires inutilement.

Pour ne pas payer ce prix exorbitant, on ne prend pas de traitement, par contre on emporte une boite de Malarone, à prendre en curatif, si les symptomes se déclaraient ...........
bon voyage,

"Le voyage est un retour vers l'essentiel." (proverbe tibétain)
Bonjour,
J'interviens dans la discussion car je connais cette pharmacie qui se trouve sur la place Monge juste à la sortie du métro Place Monge. C'est là que j'ai acheté mon traitement anti-palu (malarone) à 30 € la boite au lieu de 45 € pour mon voyage au Sénégal de juillet/août 2008.
Je veux pas polémiquer, j'ai failli m'abstenir mais devant de telles contre vérités je suis obligé.
Oui les effets secondaires comportent beaucoup de risques, oui on peut aussi mourir du paludisme.
Comme les vaccins faites votre choix en connaissance de cause c'est a dire en allant voir un médecin spécialiste avant votre départ.
Mais au secours .... les phrases genre "quand on a le paludisme c'est a vie" ... Qui est complètement fausse (genre de mythe a la vie dure) me pousse à justement éviter de prendre des décisions si importantes en lisant un forum généraliste de voyage.Moi je voyage régulièrement dans les zones à risque, je suis équipé (moustiquaire, répulsif, spirales), mon amie elle garde toujours une plaquette de traitement en cas de crise mais pas de traitement préventif non plus.
Renseignez vous, écoutez bien le médecin et décidez pour vous !
bonjour a tous!!!! je pense qu il ne faut pas jouer avec la sante.... il vaut mieux depenser quelques centaines d euros voir plus que de finir completement en loque!!!! nan mais serieux, le truc d essayer de ne pas se faire piquer...chacun fait comme il peut mais bon...
et je ne crois que le malarone n agit que de maniere preventive, donc si on s efait piquer, c est trop tard...
bon courage!!
Je me permet de rappeler que le traitement préventif ne vous protégera pas contre le paludisme mais contre les symptômes seulement (en gros ça ne sert 'que' à minimiser voir effacer les effets du palu mais vous êtes quand même atteint ) ! Ceux qui auront pris le traitement préventif et ceux qui ne l'ont pas pris seront logés à la même enseigne une fois le paludisme contracté --> traitement curatif obligatoire pour tous pour guérir !
Si tu relis mon message tu verras que ce n'est pas ce que je dis.
Mais effectivement il n'empêche pas de contracter la maladie... Ce n'est pas un vaccin mais j'ai pas dit qu'il ne servait a rien.
Comme je l'ai conseillé dans mon message précédent j'ai consulté:
Consulter un médecin spécialiste (risques maladies tropicales) avant de partir. C'est une décision qui doit être prise personnellement suivant la destination, la durée et les antécédents ou sensibilités de chacun.
J'avais consulté aussi un spécialiste à l'époque. Le malarone suffit, tu en prends 7 jours à l'avance, quelque chose comme cela, et un jour après. Ce ne sera pas un vaccin, il agit de manière ponctuel le temps de l'exposition mais cela suffit!!!
merci de m'avoir accepter parmi les membres de voyageforum j'aimerais connaitre le prix des tests et vaccin de l'hepatite A B et C ainsi que la tetanos j suis…

I’m planning a trip to Japan next year and I have asthma...
I wanted to know about the regulations regarding Ventolin (Salbutamol) in Japan—is it considered a drug? Can I bring my inhaler with me, or do I need to buy a similar product in Japan?
I have two American cousins. The older one was born in Paris, and his sister was born in California. The latter is planning a trip to Paris this summer, but she recently fell ill, and American doctors don’t know what’s wrong. I had the idea of letting her take advantage of her trip to get treated here, avoiding the high healthcare costs of the American system in the process. The problem is, I can’t find anything online about this—just testimonials from French people who used to be American, but nothing for a simple tourist.
I’m traveling to Portugal with my family and I have a treatment that requires injections. How can I take a flight with these? They look like injectable pens.
Thanks
We’re planning a trip to the Philippines from April 22 to May 8, 2026. Flight from Geneva with a layover in Turkey and Manila. Our itinerary: Angeles – Busuanga – Palawan…
The Philippines are a dream destination, but is it possible to travel there safely? I’ve heard that checked luggage often gets lost, tap water isn’t safe to drink, and mosquitoes are everywhere.
For water, what’s the best solution to carry in a backpack? Is a filtering water bottle 100% reliable?
For mosquitoes, should we treat our clothes with repellent? Are you vaccinated against hepatitis A, malaria, or dengue? Or is there an oral treatment to take?
Hi there,
Does anyone know if there’s travel insurance for someone who’s had a heart attack?
I can’t find an insurer that covers a pre-existing condition, even if it’s stable.
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, next month my wife, our 6-year-old daughter, and I are flying to Thailand. It’ll be a great chance to soak up some sun—something we’ve been missing lately here in France! But speaking of sun, I burn easily, and our daughter even more so. I was wondering what SPF to get for sunscreen and whether it’s better to buy it there or before we leave? Thanks for your tips!
Hello,
We’re planning to spend 3 months in Madagascar starting in mid-February.
Areas: Mahajanga, Tulear, Diego Suarez, and Sainte Marie—the order isn’t set yet. We’ll either drive for part of the trip or take flights.
We’ve heard all sorts of things about required vaccines and medications (is anti-malarial mandatory?). What’s the exact situation for travelers?
I’ll come back to you for other topics (like finding a reliable driver, among others).
Thank you.
Best wishes to you all,
Nicole
We're about to go on an organized trip to South Africa, including Kruger Park. We were told that Malarone should preferably be taken in the evening at the same time during a meal. But it's hard to know what time we'll have dinner, especially since I've read that in South Africa, dinner is usually around 6 PM.
I'd love to hear from people who've been on organized trips to this destination and could share their experience. We were thinking of taking Malarone around 7:30 PM, assuming dinner would be closer to 7 PM than 6 PM. Also, if the meal ends up being earlier or later than when we take the pill, would a cookie or a piece of bread be enough to take with Malarone?
I’m planning to set off on a "round-the-world" trip/long journey at the start of next year, lasting between 4.5 and 6 months. For now, the itinerary looks like this: South Korea (2 weeks) -> Japan (1 month) -> New Zealand (1 month) -> Argentina (1 month) -> United States (1 month).
I’m on medication (paroxetine 20 mg/day) and was hoping to bring enough for the entire trip so I wouldn’t have to find a doctor on the spot, deal with a molecule that might be slightly different from what’s available in France, or wonder if that’s even a possibility. Basically, it seemed simpler on paper...
But after looking into the regulations for each country, it’s suddenly way less simple . Many seem to only allow the amount corresponding to the length of your "stay" in the country... Which is a problem if I arrive in Korea with 4.5 months’ worth of medication, for example.
After all that, and even though I’ll obviously contact the relevant authorities in each country (fingers crossed for a response 😛), here’s my question:
Has anyone here had any experience with this? (Even if it’s a different medication or different countries, any input would be helpful!)
I’m trying to plan a trip to Dubai with my mom. I’ve seen that some of our medications require prior authorization (sleeping pills, codeine, anti-anxiety meds, etc.).
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been in our situation. A friend of mine applied to bring her tramadol, but it was denied—though she needed high doses!
Has anyone here gone through this process? Do we *really* need a prescription in English?
We just found out my wife is pregnant, and we’ve planned a trip to the Barlavento Islands in Cape Verde this November.
We’d like to know if there’s a real risk of Zika contamination on those islands, because from what we’ve found online, the recorded cases are old and come from the Sotavento Islands.
We’re thinking about canceling our trip.
If you’ve recently traveled to Cape Verde or live there, do you have any thoughts on this?
hi, I’m looking for information about the possibility of returning to Thailand with a portable liquid oxygen system and whether it’s possible to recharge it in Thailand, especially in Chiang Mai. thanks
I’m starting a new discussion on this topic since there doesn’t seem to be a recent one.
I have several chronic conditions (including asthma and related ones), and I’m planning to travel for a year across different countries.
Generally, I understand it’s possible to travel with approved medications (which should be my case), but often with a limit of 3 months’ worth of treatment.
Since I’m going for 12 months, that means for three-quarters of my trip, I’d have more than 3 months’ worth of medication.
I plan to bring my prescriptions with the INN (International Nonproprietary Name), as well as the original packaging (even though it’s a nightmare, but from what I understand, it’s necessary). But I’m not sure if that’s enough...
Have any of you been in this situation before? How does it work at customs—do I need to declare everything that exceeds the 3-month limit? Do I need a letter from my doctors?
I'm currently in Bangkok: How can I find a good doctor for a consultation? It's for a friend who'd like a second medical opinion compared to what they got in their country of residence.
Any professionals you'd recommend? How much does it cost?
I’ve already visited quite a few countries across several continents, but I’m pretty new to Asia.
I’m planning a trip to Thailand in October or November, and I wanted to check about health precautions: malaria treatment, vaccinations (hepatitis A or others...).
I’ll mostly be in the northern region, around Chiang Mai, where I’ll spend a lot of time in nature and the mountains. Then I’ll head south to Phuket or Krabi and visit Khao Sok National Park. I’ll finish up in Bangkok, with a likely detour to Kanchanaburi.
From what I understand, for a stay of less than 60 days, I don’t need a visa (I’m a French national)? I just need to fill out the TDAC form 3 to 5 days before arrival?
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone is heading to Cuba soon and could bring me some over-the-counter Sildenafil (viagra) tablets—available at Varadero Airport, among other places.
Hi there! So, I'm hesitating about taking a long trip. I'd like to go away for 2 to 3 months and travel across several continents. I’d love some advice. I often have unexplained allergies and need to follow a daily treatment for my diabetes (insulin). I think I can get authorization from my doctor to travel for 6 months with the treatment—is that correct? After those 6 months, is it possible (instead of bothering a relative to send the medication) to see a foreign doctor to get another 6-month travel authorization? How does it work at the airport? Do I need just one medication transport authorization, or do I have to request a new one in each country (once the treatment runs out) for both the flight and a DCI? Also, travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so will I have to pay for foreign consultations out of pocket? I’m not sure if I explained myself clearly. Oh, and just to repeat—travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so foreign consultations will be at my own expense? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi everyone.
After years of traveling to the USA without any medical insurance subscriptions—and luckily never having any major health issues (though I did get a scorpion sting buried in the sand at CBSouth, 😇)—life has caught up with us, and we’re now being forced into "wisdom" and leaving our carefree days behind.
So, I’m looking for the best compromise for a 2-month health insurance plan.
I’ve read the discussions on this topic, but the most recent one is from last year, and I’d love your take on the current situation.
I’m familiar with the usual options like Europ Assistance and AXA, but I’ve just discovered Chapka and Heymondo (the latter seems interesting in terms of both price and coverage).
What do you think of these last two? How do they compare in terms of value for money against the bigger companies?
Hi,
We’ve planned a 3-week trip to Bali this summer with our 7-year-old daughter. The itinerary includes Sanur, Nusa Lembongan, Sidemen, Amed, and Ubud. The more time passes, the more we read about people getting sick—some with mild to severe traveler’s diarrhea, and many ending up in the hospital. We, as parents, have been through it in Egypt with pretty bad cases, but we’d really like to avoid that for our daughter. Even though there’s no zero risk, and we’ll be careful, can any of you reassure me? Not everyone got sick, right? I’d love to hear positive feedback from parents, but not just them 😊. Thanks in advance!
Hi there...
I’m traveling with a friend for a month in November.
We booked our round-trip tickets from Paris to Phnom Penh, and yes, I know—it was a mistake. We should’ve flown out of Laos, but here we are.
But is it doable to backpack through both countries in a relaxed way?
I’ve seen that the transport takes a while...
Thanks so much for your replies.
Hi there,
I’ve started looking into getting dental implants, possibly in Costa Rica or Mexico.
Do you have any clinics to recommend or ones I should avoid?
For the next steps, I need to choose between Cuba Medika or Medigo—these are agencies that help with medical procedures. Do you have any info on either of them?
Hi everyone, a question for those who’ve been lucky enough to visit Raja Ampat—should you consider preventive malaria treatment given its proximity to Papua? And how was the food hygiene situation?
Thanks for your feedback! !
For several years now, increased aggression has been observed in Cape fur seals.
At least 70 unprovoked attacks on humans.
It was recently confirmed that this is due to rabies.
The suspected origin is contamination in Namibia by jackals.
The contagion seems to be spreading.
Preventive vaccination (of the animals) is being considered.
Just a reminder:
Rabies affects all mammals.
Once symptoms appear—sometimes weeks or even months later—death is inevitable.
It’s the bite that transmits the disease.
There are so-called "furious" forms with aggression, but also forms without aggression.
In case of a bite, in addition to standard wound care, tetanus prevention… rabies prevention is essential.
Stay careful out there…
Seeing seals from a boat along the coast isn’t rare in these parts…
I need 2 dental implants and I'd like to get them done abroad (it's a question of price).
Thanks for helping me with my search (Turkey, Spain, Romania???)
Can you tell me if you're satisfied with the services provided by Dentist Miguel at Club Amigo in Holguin? I'd like to go there in mid-December. Is it worth the trip to get dental prosthetics done?
Thanks for getting back to me... Michelle from Quebec
Hello,
I’m looking for a dentist who can do a full lower-arch implant with a complete prosthesis. I’m in Quebec and available to travel to Cuba. Need full contact details. Thanks everyone!
My current plan is to get my teeth treated in Cuba, especially for dental implants.
Has anyone here had experience and could refer me to a good, affordable dentist?
I’d really appreciate it if you could give me an idea of the price for one implant, since I need at least 6 done.
Thanks so much!
