Has anyone heard of an injection for protection against Malaria?
Question:
Answers:
Don't think there is an injection yet. If you are planning a trip to a High Risk Malaria region, be aware that it is usually better to get local advice as to which drug is most effective there at this time. I took a course prescribed by my doctor in the UK before visiting a high risk area only to find that I still contracted Malaria and all the drugs did was hide the symptoms.
Other Answers:
Because the plant extract you speak of must undergo strict scientific testing before it can be used as a drug.
No shoots for malaria still except for yellow fever .And those chines may not have an evedence that the herbs that they found is really helpfull in prevention of malaria heard rumours but as yet there is nothing licenced you just have to keep taking the pills please follow the instructions malaria is worse than the side effects and can kill you
Just use chloroquine or mefloquine. They are not considered that dangerous of drugs and really, they are much better than getting malaria. Just ask the millions who die from it each year.
Please see the webpages for more details on Malaria. Drug resistant strains of Malaria is becoming a growing problem.
