Mefloquine

Drug Details

Mefloquine is a medication used to both treat and prevent malaria, specifically targeting infections caused by Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax. It is typically administered once a week for prevention and as a single dose for treatment. However, it is not suitable for individuals with a history of mood disorders or seizures. As an antimalarial drug, Mefloquine works by preventing and eliminating the malaria parasites. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your individual health needs.
