Best discuss with your pharmacist as they have books about all the contar indications.

Hello I take flecainide and atorvastatin for af and high chloresterol and anti malaria made my af much worse. Suggest you take one before you go to see what happens! I just use repellent now. Good luck and have a fun trip!

Beware of mefloquine (Lariam) . This can cause very serious side effects that do not always go away when you stop taking it.

i went to Namibia this time last year. I couldn't get malaria tablets via my GP or a pharmacist because of being on Warfarin. I was really worried but went anyway. Saw one mosquito!
