Hello!
I am a UK citizen, but live in the US. I'm about to move to India for a year's study (after which I will return to the US).
My US doctor has prescribed anti-malarial pills (Malarone = Atovaquone / Proguanil). I'm going back and forth on whether to get them or not. The location I'm going to (Pune) is low-risk for malaria, so I wouldn't consider it if I were going on a short trip, but I understand that the risk of contracting malaria rises with length of time. On the other hand, the cost is off-putting, and I'm not eager to take possibly unnecessary medication for a year.
Do other long-term expatriates in low-risk areas take anti-malarials? Does anyone not? Any personal experience of pros or cons?
Thanks so much in advance!
actually you don't need to take anti malaria's tablets if you are living in pune. Few changes in like don't drink direct tap water and use filter water purifier machine or prefer packed drinking water.
