Doxycycline is not a real prophylaxis but it is basically a diluted antibiotic. It seems to have some effect but it would surely not be my first choice. The best stuff is still Lariam, provided you are not allergic to it (the depression stories) and subject to the area you are visiting. I took Lariam continuously for more than 12 months (whole of Africa), no problems whatsoever.
Even Malarone is not allowed to be used for more than 3 months, due to lack of testing data.
