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 York, SC | ||

Lately 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 | |||

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

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

Still 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. On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||

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. | |||

For many many years, we used the weekly one, cannot remember its name. Supposed to have bad side effects as hallucinations etc. Never had any of this, non of us, which in total must have been dozens of people. After that our doctor recommended Malarone. Again, we have been taking it for many years. No side effects and it worked. I think Malarone you take a couple of days before travel?? | |||

Lariam was known for playing havoc with the psyche..some went rather crazy.. I never used it..I used Malarone on several trips to Botswana..no nasty side effects. However, a friend of mine used Malarone in Zim, he had bad dreams etc. | |||

I have heard of stories where hunters have cut down their hunts because of the bad side effects??!! | |||

I mostly used doxycycline Larium sent me troppo- never again! Malarone was ok but expensive. I never had sun sensitivity with doxy plus it is good for tick fever and many other ills. DRSS | |||

I've used malarone out of fear of side effects from larium. My first trip in 2017, I had some anxiety/nightmare issues the first night. I didn't have any recurrence of that in 2021 or 2023. I'm planning to take malarone again for Zambia this year. I'm not seeing any publications on malarone resistance. | |||

I tried Malarone once for a trip to Zim. I couldn't sleep while on that drug. Never used it again. I use Doxy and take it as soon as the hunting is over for the day. Never had any problems with sun sensitivity but I do use suntan lotion. Tom Z NRA Life Member | |||

Funny enough, we can buy Larium off any pharmacy with no prescription. Malarone we have to get through a doctor??!! | |||

If an American doctor told me some news about Malarone, I’d ask him where he heard it. His answer would probably surprise you. Read it in a magazine? Saw it on the Internet? I guarantee it’s not because he’s seen numerous cases of malaria from Zim. American doctors, even infectious disease docs, see a very small handful of cases over their entire career. Most will never see a case from Zimbabwe. I’d take the Malarone over doxy. | |||
