Malaria is a serious illness that is dangerous to both the mother and unborn baby. If you are a woman of childbearing age, you must use reliable birth control while taking Mefloquine and for up to three months after the last dose so you do not get pregnant. If you are pregnant, discuss all your medications, including Mefloquine, with your health care provider prior to use. Your health care provider can determine if you need to take Mefloquine or a different medication to prevent malaria.
