Chloroquine
Hello fellow travellers.
I am planning a trip through Mexico and Central America very soon. I have been to the Medical travel clinic for vacinations and have been prescribed Chloroquine and Malarone for my travel through Malaria regions. I have read that some of the side effects of Chloroquine may be "blurred vision" which is a serious side effect for anyone riding a motorcycle. Malarone though expensive, seems to have less side effects. I have never been a big user of medications and I feel uneasy about taking them. I wonder if I should avoid the anti malaria medication, and take my chances with a good deet repellant. Has anyone experienced poor vision or other side effects while using Chloroquine for a number of months?
