Malaria tablets

Hi Travelbug,
It's my understanding that there are two different types of meds for malaria and where you are going determines which one you use. I visited the Amazon jungle in Peru and took Malarone, started 2 days before travel to the Amazon and for 7 days after. I had no side effects. Have you read anything on the net about doxycycline? Take a look here.

"Studies have shown Malarone to be 98% effective in prevention of malaria which is as effective as mefloquine or doxycycline."

You might want to do some reading here as well from a search at www.google.com
Doxycycline + malaria

This is who I used for all my immunizations and meds. They were most helpful with lots of travel info.
