Am allergy to Chloroquine and quinine tablets in general so what other malaria pills is good for me?
You have two possible choices -atovaquone/proguanil sold in the US as Malarone or doxycycline. Malarone is pretty well tolerated by most folks, even kids. You take one a day starting two days before you expect exposure, and for a week after returning from a malarial area. As long as you don’t have renal problems,it’s a good one without a lot of side effects. Doxycycline works, but is not 100% effective and comes with a list of other things you have to consider while taking it. Your best bet if you want to vacation in an area at risk for malaria is to discuss all the options with your doctor well before it’s time to go. A trial of them before you go is sensible to be sure you don’t have allergy problems with them as well. Plus you need to know if there are side effects and if you can tolerate them- nice to know before you are on vacation.
