Doxycycline is readily available. Recommended by US health.
 Side effect is skin sensitivity to the sun

Paludrine is a tricky one it is said to be available in India but whenever I've asked a pharmacy the answer has always been no. I asked a friend who is a Chemist in India and he reckoned this would be hard to come by!!
I've asked quite a few chemists in South Goa and Margao none stocked it!! Maybe Goancanuck can let you know about the situation in North Goa!! |

Paludrine is not available in Goa but doxycycline is easily available and much cheaper than what it costs in Europe or North America.
