i wasn't prescribed anything. I did my research of available products at the time (2010) and decided the side effects weren't worth the minimal risk I was

Once you have seen someone in a hospital bed suffering from malaria it gives you a reason try for good prevention. This includes mosquito spray, deet wrist/ankle bands, being careful and antimalarials.

agreed. We went with prevention by way of deet. If there was a product on the market that you could take that would completely prevent malaria I would have been far more keen. Alas, there was not and that coupled with the cost made it a less than ideal proposition.

So if anyone else wanting to "educate" me about antimalarials can save their post.

You seems pretty angry about my post. I honestly thought you may have been interested in hearing from someone who was once in the same position as you are the reasons I had for not to taking them.

Good of luck with whatever you decide!!!

Just trying to decide where to buy generic malarone, not whether to buy it.
