Where can I find Malarone (anti-malaria tablets) cheaply?

The reason most people take Malarone is because of it's lack of side effects.
Particularly those with kids (like myself) I have heard all sorts of stories about people who have succumbed to side effects whilst travelling.
It is not a good idea to make medical decisions based on "stories". For example, one affordable and effective drug is larium. For 95 per cent of people it is fine, but a tiny number of people suffer disturbing side effects: best practice is to start taking them two weeks before departure so that if side effects begin there is time to choose another drug instead. Doxy is the cheapest: it generally increases vulnerability to sunburn but I used it once for West Africa and had no problems.0 -
Malarone has side effects. The most common one is the weird dreams. Very realistic, but utterly surreal.
..but I'd rather have weird dreams for a few days than malaria, and I much prefer taking the tablets for a couple of days either side of a trip than the ones 20 years ago that you had to take for 6 weeks.1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?0 -
