DS going to Africa for a month in the summer. Need to decide which anti-malarials to get private prescription for. Doxycycline or Malarone have been recommended. Doxyclcline is about 1/10 of the price but has to be taken for a month on return (still makes it much cheaper but a long time for a teenager to remember to take it); Malarone only for a week on return.
I think the nurse said something about Doxy. also containing an anti-biotic, which might be useful for other purposes.
Anyone who really knows their stuff in this area - what are your thoughts? I can't decide... health & safety first, cost last consideration.. any help much appreciated. Thanks.
