Cost of Antimalarials
Getting ready for the Americas and the costs involved for antimalarial drugs is surprising.
We have decided to use Doxycycline, in the UK the cost of a 100mg capsule varies from 14p (0.28 USD) up to 75p (1.50 USD) per capsule. The cost in the USA looks to be higher.
If we could get them in Mexico it would save carrying them around for 4 months before we need them. Does anyone know what the cost and availability is in Mexico, can they be had over the counter or do you need a doctor’s prescription.
A tip I picked up searching the www, because of the side effects of antimalarial drugs it is worth trying a short course, before you leave home, or buy a huge quantity, or was this obvious to everyone but me.
