Anti-malaria prophylaxis for Southern Africa trip (5)
--------------------------------------------
The key issues with anti-malaria prophylaxis are that no regimen is
100% effective and thus you should travel with curative treatment.
Secondly you should continue taking the prophylaxis for at least 4
weeks after you leave the malarious area.
The situation with regard to sensitivities changes and so it is
important to check with an advice center before travelling.
