Can I take anti malaria tablets while trying to conceive?
Patient: We are trying for a baby but will be going to bali visiting some of the countries that may be at risk of malaria. Are there any anti malaria tablets I can take during this time, as I know some aren't suitable if trying for a baby. Some forums state that you shouldn't try whilst taking the tablets. Please can you advise. Doctor: Hello,Welcome to HCM,Avoid travelling to areas of the world where there is a risk of malaria.Pregnant women have an increased risk of developing severe malaria. There is also a greater risk that both the mother and their baby will experience complications if they get malaria.If you are unable to postpone or cancel your trip to an area where there is a malaria risk,Mefloquine  is the drug of choice during pregnancy.Thank you.
