What Malaria Prevention Drugs Are Available In Nigeria? by 19naia(m): 6:24pm On May 22, 2015
I am interested in knowing about antimalarial drugs in Nigeria.. Not the ones for treatment, but the ones that can be taken weekly or monthly to prevent malaria from settling into the body. I learned about Doxycycline when travelling in other tropical countries with little malaria problems and less voracious strains of it...

What is available in Nigeria and what are the most recommended ones for people there?

It is available in Nigeria and once you get your drugs from good Pharmacy you really don't have issues with counterfeit/ fake. Lonart is also good. You can buy scratch it and send the short code to confirm authenticity.
