Please see the web page for more details on Malaria prophylaxis. Halofantrine (also called Halfan) is widely used overseas to treat malaria. CDC recommends that you do not take Halfan because of serious heart-related side effects, including deaths. Consult your doctor.

These malaria pills, excluding Mefloquine/ brand name Lariam, maybe helpful published by CDC. Verify with health provider. Malaria can occur despite taking antimalarials http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dpd/parasites/malaria/factsht_malaria_drugs.htm Alternative medicines: sweet wormwoods herb, very safe, can drink all year round w or w/o other medicines. Daily dose is maybe 1/2 lbs or more as 1 glass of soup. Personal experience, used by NVArmy during VN war, and UN's aids to Africa for anti-malaria
