A member asked:
Do i need a script for malaria medication?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Script needed: If you suspect malaria given your symptoms and recent exposure, you need to consult with an infectious disease specialist - especially one with tropical disease background. If you want the medicine for prophylaxis for a travel to a malaria endemic area, then consult with a public health specialist or clinic. They may have the medication on hand but you will need a prescription otherwise.
