Can Doxycycline Be Substituted With Malerone?
I have been taking Doxycycline (an Anti-Malarial pill) for the past month. I have run out and have 15 Malerone Tablets which will last me to the end of my holiday and also the 7 days after. Is this ok to do? or should i continue and buy more Doxycycline?

Hi thanks for asking qestion .
I can understand your concern.
Both these drug quit effective as antimalarial drug.
But side effect incidence is more with malrenon as compared to doxycycline.
The photo sensitivity is reported with malrenon in few cases.
So better to use doxycycline.
Hope I have solve your query.
Don't worry.
Best healthy life ahead.
