Antimalarial medications can cause some side effects, but there are different types available and your healthcare professional will advise you as to which one is right for you. Malaria can put you in hospital for weeks and can be fatal in some cases. It is better to protect yourself against malaria than risk contracting a potentially fatal disease. If you have concerns speak to your healthcare professional.
