Tokunbo,

your post and Mr. Twotter´s one about sickle cell aneamia are the only ones here that cover everything (almost) fine and in a correct way.

Obviously a typing error though:
chloroquine (trade name Paludrine in UK)
You must have meant Proguanil there instead of chloroquine. Chloroquine is traded as Nivaquine, Resochin etc.

Quite correct: Paludrine alone does NOT help. You MUST combine Paludrine with chloroquine.

Just for the record, some people get bad skin reactions when exposed to sunshine, under Doxycycline medication. Not a good idea in the tropics...

And then, of course, there is always Gin adn Tonic. You only need about 50 to 80 G&Ts per day to get the appropriate dose of alcohol and quinine.
