A member asked:
Are there any malaria medications that can be taken and considered safe for g6pd deficient patients?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
G6PD: There is a theory that the disease itself is protective against malaria. The theory however, is unproven.Most anti-malarials will cause hemolytic anemia so it is important to discuss the problem with your doctor
