Malaria Tablets?


Question:
If i haven't been bitten do i really need to keep taking them for a week after i return to the UK?

Answers:
Malaria prophylaxis needs to be taken for a week to a month after you have travelled depending on the type of malaria tablets you are taking. This is because there is always a chance that you have been bitten thus infected and treatment is necessary. It is a short price to pay for health.
yes, because you may have been bitten and not known it. Trust me Malaria is not fun
Yes you must, the risk of malaria is still there and if you do get it, it is unpleasant and it will be with you for the rest of your life.
yes u do. also u should be aware that if u r ill during 6 months after a visit somewhere u should tell the doc that u have been to a mosquito area in the last 6 months.
