What Are The Adverse Effects Of Taking Doxycycline Or Malarone For Malaria?
Which medication for malaria, doxycycline or Malarone, has the worst side effects, and what is the percentage of patients who suffer from the most severe of symptoms? I am going to South Africa, and will be in a Safari camps around Lake Victoria. Many people I know have had bad experiences while taking Malarone. Thank you. Diane YYYY@YYYY

Hello,
Doxycycline is safe and better tolerated than Malarone. You can proceed with Malarone for the time being.
