Travelers to these areas need to protect themselves from malaria by preventing mosquito bites and taking medication to prevent malaria infection. Four medications are commonly used in the USA to prevent malaria while traveling: Atovone/proguanil (Malarone), mefloqine (Lariam), chloroquine (Aralen), and doxycycline.

We usually suggest taking tablet lariago-ds once a week till required but to be taken after clinical examination and See to it that there is no stagnation of water in your house and nearby locality for more than 7 days because these are breeding grounds for mosquitoes
