A member asked:

I took malateq for 16 days for prevention of malaria on a recent trip to malawi. is it necessary for me to wait a specific amount of time before trying to get pregnant after taking this medication?

Two weeks : after stopping medication, should be more than enough time to allow it to clear your system.
