Malarone is your second choice, however it does have a number of side effects as well and is not recommended for pilots.
Hi itischriso,

I was recently prescribed Malarone for a 6 week stay in India. The Doctor (at a Tropical Medical Clinic) advised that it was a relatively new drug and as yet does not appear to have any significant side effects. Care to elaborate on the side effects and why its not recommended for pilots?

As it happens I didn't bother with the pills as I'm in a relatively low risk invironment. The Deet sure stinks!
