If you can get it, Johnsons OFF Skintastic, is about the best I've found for bug spray.

Anyone used "Cotexin" after getting Malaria ?

Anyone used "Cotexin " after getting Malaria ?

Cotexin is apparantly of Chinese origin & consists of
8 tablets taken 4 a day, after being diagnosed

I was told that there were " no side-effects "

It is seemingly only available in Tanzania for US $ 15

Thanks to everyone for sending very useful posts on the
subject of Malaria

Hi Gunship

I saw your post on using Artesunate for treatment of Malaria. Thanks

Where can one buy it ? Price ?

Is it effective throughout Africa ,or is it area specific ?

Any side-effects ?

ARTESUNATE

Lo Flyboy,

We buy 50 mg x 12 Tablets for L12 000.00 (about $ 5.00).
I threw the pamphlet away but it says on the box :

Used in the treatment of falciparum malaria and vivax malaria and also the emergency threatment of critical cases

They also say one tab , twice per day .. I "grew up" using 4 tabs immediatley and two every four hours and have not died - uhmm yet ..

No side - effect for me or any of my friends - collugues that uses it.

We find it in any chemist / shop / around the corner kuka shop - basically anywhere.

Hope it helps !

Cheers,
