Anti Malaria Medication

Malcolm,
Just a bit of google may give you loads of info. Check this out
medicinenet.com/doxycycline/article.htm
I would advise you purchase this from a very reputable chemist though i donŽt even trust them.  There are lots of fake medicine in circulation.  Best would be to try have someone buy for you from europe or wherever youŽre from. Personallyi donŽt take medicines..just natural supplements.

Thank you for your advice, I have been researching this anti-malaria drug but I had not seen that article thank you. I really do not like taking medication but I understand the incidence of malaria is quite high in Ghana particularly outside of Accra. What natural supplements can help?

It has been difficult finding a defined practice for anti malaria.  From all my reading I come to these conclusions:

1.  It does not stop you getting malaria.
2.  Use precautions:  Reppellants, nets (if your not annoyed), long sleeves and pants, etc
3.  They are hard on your body /Liver
4.  and some not recommended for long term use.
5.  Some people take them, some don't.
6.  Keep your body healthy. 
7.  and everyones experience is different.  So expect Impermanence and change.

Thanks for the link...Good info.

Thanks for the comments.

I have reached the same conclusions.

I believe I will start with the Doxycycline but fully expect to give up medication in favour of precautions once I am accustomed to the location.

It will be the first time I will have taken anti-malaria drugs in all my travels but my work commitments are such that I must avoid illness if I can particularly in the early days.
