I have been on atovaquone for 7 month and started to get urinary retention 4 months ago. prostate and kidneys normal. is there any correlation?

I am not aware of : Atovaquone by itself or in combination with proguanil as Malarone (atovaquone and proguanil) to be associated with urinary retention.

Not known: Long term use of Malarone (atovaquone and proguanil) (atovone/proguanil) is uncommon due to its cost. It is generally thought to be safe, but not much is known. The indivudual components atovone & proguanil have been used for long periods without concerns. If you decide to stop Malarone (atovaquone and proguanil) to see if urinary retention is related make sure your doctor finds another effective antimlarial medication for you.
