Any ideas which one will be the most effective? Malaria is not something to take lightly. Please check with a knowledgeable doctor (not your local general physician) or institute for tropical medicine. There should be something like that in Portugal because of the former colonies. I don't think there will be any knowledgeable doctors on this forum, so please don't take any specific advice just from fellow travelers. Regards, Hans |
