FAnsidar: This is not a medication that is available in the us. It is used to treat malaria. Assuming you have malaria, would suggest using a medication prescribed by your physician.

Not idea: This is category c, meaning that studies haven't been done in pregnant women but it has been shown to bet teratogenic in rats at 12 times the human dose. It can interfere with Folic Acid metabolism, so that is detrimental for pregnant women as well. Seems strange drug to ask about as it's an anti-malarial and most pregnant women wouldn't be travelling overseas at 38 weeks of pregnancy?
