Re: Anti-Malarials
Surely. There are a range of anti malarials as LTO has intimated. Not all Mosquitos are equal so some drugs are only effective in some regions. Also the mosquito will over a period of time develop a resistance to the drug. When the mosquito is resistance the drug is ineffective ie bugger all use.potty wrote:perhaps squirrel can enlighten on what s/he meant...Secret Squirrel wrote:Whilst malarone is an excellent anti malarial (albeit expensive) do not assume it is the correct anti malarial for this area at this time.

The world health organisation rotate the recommended drug for particular areas periodically to defend against the mosquito becoming resistant. If LTO is correct that Malarone is the current recommendation (I have no reason to doubt this) this may change in the coming months or years so always check for current information.
I would emphasise a point others have made. If you are in generally good health and in PP, SHV, SR then I would not touch them. Malaria is rarely fatal unless you are in a risk group. These drug are nasty and should be taken with caution. The side effects are not pleasant.
BTW quite cock check shows its a he.
