Hi,
I have the option of taking these three types of tablet
- Atovaquone (Malarone) - Daily - 2 days before leaving - 7 days after
- Mefloquine (Larium) - Weekly - 1 week before leaving - 4 weeks after
- Doxycycline - Daily - 2 days before - 4 weeks after
Now i know there are obvious practicality differences, Larium being weekly, and Malarone only having to be taken one week after.
However, what i am really concerned about it side-effects, and effects of alcohol (asd i'll be drinking a lot!). Now i know everyone is different but just getting a few personal experiences will help calm me and help me to decide.
I'm going to Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
Thanks
