Lariam 250mg 8 tablets contain the active ingredient mefloquine, an anti-malarial medication used for both the prevention and treatment of malaria. It is a prescription-only medicine. 

Uses

  • Malaria prevention: Lariam is typically taken weekly, starting one to three weeks before entering a malarious area and continuing for four weeks after leaving. This regimen ensures the drug is tolerated and provides ongoing protection. It is especially useful in regions where there is chloroquine-resistant malaria.
  • Malaria treatment: The medication can also treat acute malaria attacks, but this should be done under medical supervision. 

Important warnings

  • Serious psychiatric side effects: Lariam has been linked to severe mental health problems, which can be permanent in some cases. Patients should stop taking the medication and seek medical advice immediately if they experience symptoms such as anxiety, depression, hallucinations, or suicidal thoughts.
  • Neurological side effects: Side effects like dizziness, vertigo, and loss of balance have been reported and can persist for months or longer after discontinuing the drug.
  • Contraindications: Lariam should not be used by those with a history of psychiatric disorders, epilepsy, or certain heart conditions.
  • Not 100% effective: No anti-malarial medication is guaranteed to be 100% effective. It is important to combine it with other mosquito bite prevention measures, such as using repellent and insecticide-treated nets. 

How to take

  • Lariam should be swallowed whole with plenty of water, preferably after a meal.
  • The weekly dose should be taken on the same day each week.
  • The exact dosage and course length should be followed precisely as prescribed by a doctor.
