Uncomplicated Malaria in Pregnancy

Guidelines for the Treatment of Malaria in Malawi, 6th Edition, 2025. Chapter 3, Malaria in Pregnancy.

Treatment

Treatment should be initiated as early as possible. DP and LA are safe in all trimesters of pregnancy. As such, all pregnant women should be treated with DP or LA.

If there is a confirmed DP or LA treatment failure for pregnant women in all trimesters, treat with ASAQ as in Table 1.5.

Check doses against the printed guideline and your clinical judgement before treating a patient. Spotted an error? Report it from the contact links below.
