I will be in Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia for two months and was wondering about Malaria treatment, will I have to take medication all the time?
I guess it depends where I go because there will be times when I'll be trekking above 4000m when I believe they'll be no mosquitos?
Do people just continue with medication anyway even if they are not in affected parts? I know some anti-malarials require 4 weeks after leaving.
I guess I am just worried about taking medication for so long! Especially as I have suffered side effects with larium and doxy!
