Malaria in Mozambique - should I take malaria tablets?
Hi - I am planning a trip to Mozambique, I read that you need to take malaria tablets before going but some people say this is not really necessary and they make you feel ill. I am going to an island off the north coast of Mozambique in the Quirimbas Archipelago which I'm told is malaria free. Not sure whether to take the risk, can anyone advise?

Larium / methlequione = do not take due to the side effects if you take nothing you may get malaria and die but this stuff will definitely kill you
Dioxycycline works well cheap and protects against other parasites as well but it is a pain to have to take the pills for 4 weeks after leaving the malaria area.
Malalin / MALARONE expensive but has the least side effects and only have to take for 7 days after leaving the malaria area. This is what I always take when traveling to a malaria area.
