Wroth knowledge - anyone tried weekly anti-malarial tablets instead of the usual weeks and
weeks (2 weeks before you go, while you're there and two weeks afterwards) of daily chloroquin/proguanil tablets?
Mefloquine or chloroquin are one tablet weekly options I think.
I've done some googling but wondered if anyone had experience of the weekly options.
