Hello,
We are off travelling next week around India for 2 months and have been advised to take Chloroquine & Proguanil Anti-Malarial tablets.
Having just necked the first dose tonight, I'm now wondering if anyone can assure me that they've taken these tablets before and haven't gone blind or grown three heads. I have read many of the side effects on the side of the packet but am I right in thinking that all malarial tablets are similar?
We've not been looking forward to taking the tablets and now I'm a bit concerned!
Any comments or experiences gratefully received!
Thanks,
Mel
Hi this maybe a little late.......They just make you feel a little sick like all the other brands 
We have been taking them for the last 3 weeks with no ill effects. We are making sure that we don't take them on an empty stomache.
Well thats lucky, i was a sick as a dog when i took mine for the Dom Rep last year.
I have to start taking them again in about 6 weeks, off to the maldives.
I am dreading taking them again

Sun-seeker,
I I don't beleive Malaria is a recommendation when going to the maldives - certainly no-one I know, or have met once there has ever taken them. I could understand it if you were going to Sri lanka first but i don't believe Malaria is prevalent in the Maldives. Therefore if they make you sick i wouldn't bother.

we went to the maldives, this year, and we didn't need malaria tablets. one of the reasons i picked it
Traveled twice to Maldives (soon to be 3rd trip) Twice to Cuba and Once to Dominican Republic and never taken or perscribed any maleria tablets.
Well i didnt know that, thanks! you have made my day. 
we usually take malairia tablets at night before going to bed and find we dont feel the ill affects while we are asleep anita
