BigBBearMalarone - current news
I've done 12 safaris and on every one, I have taken Malarone, no issues. I leave in about 10 days and a person going with me said his doctor told him Malarone was less effective in Zimbabwe than prior. Dr. Recommended Doxycycline. First I've ever heard of this. Anyone else or are all using Malarone. Thanks for comments

spanishhunterLately they are recommending doxi instead malarone...who knows real reason for that...
I can tell you doxi is a bit problemátic with sun...
If I were you I will continue with malarone but maybe wiser to follow doctor advice
Best regards

WesheltonjUsed Malarone each trip to Africa - hunting and non-hunting plus India. I also take Doxy with me. I use hydroxychloroquine for South America.

desert dogIf you plan on sitting in the back of the truck for long rides, stay away from Doxi! the sun sensitivity issue is real.

bwanamrmStill using Malarone... I'll be in Moyowosi in late September and plan on using it again. Need to update some shots though. Think my Yellow Fever is timed out.

When was your last YF? When I got my Stamaril when YF-Vax was temporarily out of production I was told it was good for life.
