Antimalarial prescription

Hello mamas,
I'm travelling to Africa end of March this year with my 18 months old boy and apparently he requires malarial tablets as I know there's a lot of mosquitos there and i would like to be safe than sorry!
However, superdrug online needs a prescription but my Gp won't prescribe the tablets.

I've tried all the pharmacy, like boots, Loylds but no luck. Masta travel clinic is a nightmare to get through . The next appointment they're giving me is end of March and that's just a consultation appointment so that won't help at all.

Has anyone been lucky to get these antimalarial tablets from anywhere on a prescription?

Many thanks in advance for all your advice 😊

Betty

Have you tried other travel clinics?

I wouldn't be giving an 18mo antimalarials, are you sure he needs them in the exact area you're travelling to.
Can you postpone your trip til he's older or are you seeing family?
