We went to Vietnam and we were recommended Malarone (malaria pill). But in different regions they recommend different pills.
It cost us �10.00 each for private presctription and the cheapes Malarone pills I found were on Boots website (44 pills came to around �93)

I picked up course of malaria pills at local pharmacy yesterday apparently there are different ones for depending upon where you are going so the pharmacist told me. Cant tell u name of mine as they r at home and im at work. We have to take them for 1 week before we go and 4 weeks after return. 7 week course in one packet (two different tabs in packet) cost �15.50 each person for complete course. He was very helpful and printed off list of jabs etc needed too.

Malarone tablets have to be taken only 1-2 days before departure and 7 days after arrival. We chose them because they had the least side affects.

i just took Lariun - �20 for 8 weeks worth - you just take one a week - made me a little crazy but my mate was fine....Malarone is more expensive and you take it every day...met some people that were fine on this and others who were ill every day.....its a bit of a lottery!
