How it Works

How Mefloquine works Mefloquine is an antiparasitic medication used to treat malaria. It functions by increasing the levels of heme in the blood, a substance that is toxic to the malarial parasite. This action kills the parasite and prevents the infection from spreading.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Mefloquine include abdominal pain, abnormal dreams, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, insomnia (difficulty sleeping), nausea, vertigo, vomiting, balance disorder (loss of balance), and sleepiness.

Expert Advice

Mefloquine should be taken with food to prevent stomach upset.
Complete the prescribed course, even if you start to feel better. Stopping early may cause the infection to return and become harder to treat.
Tips to reduce the chance of being bitten by mosquitoes:

Wear light-colored and covered clothing when outside after sunset.
Use insect repellent creams or sprays on exposed areas of your body.
Spray to eliminate any mosquitoes that may have entered rooms despite screening.

Mefloquine may cause dizziness or sleepiness. Avoid driving or engaging in activities that require concentration until you know how it affects you.
Inform your doctor if you have kidney, liver, or heart disease.
