Malaria Treatment FAQ:
I am going to Indonesia this year on a trip with university and will be needing anti-Malaria tablets and was wondering which ones were best? I have talked to some people that say the most expensive are my best bet. Some of my friends have had anti-Malaria tablets before and suffered sickness and an aversion to sunlight, I’m not sure which ones they took though. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Each person is different - some people do better on malerone which is a daily med; others better on Larium which is weekly.
Talk to your doctor about the side effects and together you can figure out which is best for you.
Artemisinin, a compound extracted from sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua), has been used for more than 1500 years in traditional Chinese medicine to treat fevers.
