Do i need a prescription for malaria tablets?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes in USA : Yes in USA all drugs are prescribed by a doctor prescription... Unless they are OTC (OVER THE COUNTER) drugs. All antibiotics, anti parasite antiretroviral and antifungal are only through prescription. A few ointments like neosporin or antifungal creams are OTC.

Yes: In the USA all medications used for management of malaria require prescription. Your doctor will prescribe based on the prevalence of resistance in the area your are travelling to
