    I have been advised the ones with least side-effects are those taken daily (start 2 days before you fly out, and continue for 1 week following your return)
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.
  • I ordered my malaria tablets on Friday & they came Saturday morning. Would thoroughly recommend this site. Many thanks to the OP.

    Thanks for this - I have saved a small fortune! Ordered last Thursday, tablets arrived the following day .V happy.
  • A great travel advice website is https://www.fitfortravel.scot.nhs.uk. It's the Scottish NHS website so contains very accurate and up to date advice especially about vaccinations and malaria prophylaxis - anti malarial tablets and bite avoidance measures are a must for anyone going to a malarial country!!!

    Went to gp's yesterday for info on forthcoming trip and was told exactly the same thing as medical quoted - so the link to pharmacy website appreciated

    the government / NHS official website for looking up this is:
    http://www.nathnac.org/index.htm

    more government info here:

    best bet - see your GP for free - ask which type of tablet is suitable then go and find the one you are told cheaper
