A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potential Medicines: Chloroquine phosphate in non resistant areas where plasmodium vivax malaria exists and Mefloquine in resistant areas of the world where plasmodium falciparum exists. Both medicines have some side effects you would want to discuss but they are safe in pregnancy.
