Lariam - Side Effects
If the side effects happen in the 3 weeks before you travel contact
whoever gave you them in the first place, that is why you take them 3 weeks before you go, if it happens while you are travelling contact local hospital/clinic. I know of people that had side effects, they were told to stop taking them and given other tablets, but these are also now resistant to malaria. Lariam is old hat now, ask for Maarone, work's the same but with less side affects. There is another drug (Artemisinin) that I have seen a documentary about, but think that it will be difficult to obtain, you can always ask around if it is possible to buy it, I will be trying this the next time I travel. P.S. Did you know that Lariam stays in your blood for 100 days after taking the last tablet |

"chortler" wrote: What can I take to countreract the side effects of Lariam? Nothing AFAIK, but I only had side effects the first time I took them. After that I took the advice on the label and drunk lots of extra water with each tablet and had no problems since. My side effects didn't start until after I came back after my first trip, and faded after each tablet, meaning after my last tablet, the symptoms were almost gone within a week. I hadn't heard anything about serious side effects of Lariam until after I had finished taking them, so it wasn't 'suggestion' (in fact I'd been warned about possible side-effects of two of my injections, but didn't have them). If you're having side effects just now, and it's been a while since you stopped taking them, it might be worth seeing your GP or your country's equivalent.

If you have any side effects, give up on Lariam, bite the bullet and buy the more expensive Malarone. Don't take any risks, for some people Lariam can be very dangerous. Others tolerate it well, so if you belong to that second group---no problem. Hans-Georg -- No mail, please. |

He could have said that the half life of Lariam is something like three weeks, while the half life of Malarone is only 2-3 days. But then people may ask what a half life is... ;-) -- Johan W.

What can I take to countreract the side effects of Lariam? Which ones? I did a full check-up just after a trip to Ethiopia where I used Lariam, the liver did show really bad test values. That did only slowly recover and it took about two months to get back at normal levels. I'll not repeat that experiment another time! /Nisse -- Remove the obvious part before replying by mail please! |
