E-drug: Treatment of Malaria
---------------------------------------------
Dear E-druggers,
Recently I was asked how to treat malaria after an ineffective prophylaxis
with mefloquine. Mefloquine may not be given at the same time as related
substances (e. g. quinine, chloroquine) and halofantrine and as t 1/2 of
mefloquine is very long - what can be done?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
