The information on a Lariam box says.... "Take one tablet daily for three days, then ONE a week while in + for 4 weeks after leaving MA". (malaria area)
This is for 250mg Mefloquine hydrochloride tablets. If in any doubt check with your doctor. Some people experience problem side effects from Larium. Good to be be aware of these.... Quote ... " Mefloquine sometimes causes nausea, dizziness, and trouble sleeping. It may rarely produce seizures or psychiatric problems. It should also be avoided in people with certain heart conditions."
