Hello
Lariago is chloroquine and used for the prophylaxis and treatment for malaria.
Since you require for prophylaxis , so note down .
250 MG ONCE IN DAY ON THE SAME DAY EACH WEEK.
Start 2 weeks BEFORE entering an endemic or risky area ( for malaria or mosquito ), continue for 4 weeks after leaving the Tanzania.
Take this tablet with milk after meal every time ( week ).
Good luck.
