Malaria tablets

^ I'll bear that in mind.

Anyway, after chicken tikka in a nan and a few beers I feel fine after taking the tablets.

... after chicken tikka in a nan and a few beers I feel fine after taking the tablets.

So far, so good .
Side effects of antimalarials include nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhoea (much like chicken tikka after too many beers ) - I wish you luck and take care .

I was recommended Chloroquine/Proguanil by the pharmasist in August for a trip to Goa in September and the information in the pack clearly said that they should be taken with or after food. I didn't have any noticeable side affects but my holiday to Goa was abruptly cancelled when I had to fly urgently to the Philippines to be with my brother so I carried on taking the tablets whilst I was there and didn't have one mosquito bite .....

Hope you have a fab time Jamie!!

Thanks Rosie . Got my Chloroquine/Proguanil from Morrisons and the pharmacist only told me not to lie down after taking them

Felt slightly nauseous, a brief discomfort in my stomach for about thirty seconds but for my second dose I was completely OK but I did eat prior to taking them this time. I'm usually pretty immune to side effects with tablets.

I had a few beers to see if there were any effects from alcohol. I thought it best to try this at home first rather than in public Cheers for the input Doc!
