Lariam (Mefloquine) – Effective Malaria Prevention and Treatment
Lariam is a trusted antimalarial medication containing mefloquine, specifically designed for the prevention and treatment of malaria. It is widely recommended for travelers visiting malaria-endemic areas and is effective against Plasmodium falciparum, including chloroquine-resistant strains.
Key Benefits
- Powerful Malaria Protection: Effective against the most dangerous malaria parasites, including resistant strains.
- Convenient Weekly Dosing: A single tablet per week makes it easy to maintain compliance during long trips.
- Dual Purpose: Can be used for prevention or treatment of malaria, depending on your healthcare provider’s advice.
How to Use for Malaria Prevention
- Start Before Travel: Take one tablet weekly, starting 2-3 weeks before travel to allow time to assess tolerance.
- Continue During Travel: Take one tablet every week while in the malaria risk area.
- After Travel: Continue taking one tablet weekly for 4 weeks after leaving the malaria-endemic region.
How to Use for Malaria Treatment
- For treating malaria, the dosage and duration are determined by a healthcare professional based on the severity and strain of malaria.
Important Precautions
- Suitability Check: Lariam is not suitable for everyone; a pre-travel consultation is essential, especially for those with a history of mental health conditions (e.g., depression or anxiety) or epilepsy.
- Side Effects: May include nausea, dizziness, vivid dreams, or sleep disturbances. Rarely, more serious side effects like mood changes or confusion can occur.
- Avoid Alcohol: Alcohol can exacerbate side effects; avoid drinking while taking Lariam.
- Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications.
