Buy Mefloquine Online from Licensed Canadian Pharmacies

Mefloquine is an effective antimalarial medication primarily indicated for the treatment & prevention of malaria caused by the Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax species. Available in a standard strength of 250 mg, the tablets are administered once weekly, following a single-dose regimen for treatment. It is essential to note that Mefloquine should be administered in combination with another antimalarial medication, such as primaquine, when used for the treatment of malaria caused by Plasmodium vivax. Severe neuropsychiatric and neurological side effects, such as anxiety, depression, hallucinations, seizures, and balance disturbances, are common with this medication. Therefore, consult a medical expert before you buy Mefloquine online to ensure correct use and monitoring.

Usage Guide

Oral antimalarial tablets require proper administration to ensure safety and effectiveness. Here are some important steps on how to take Mefloquine correctly:

  • Do not take more or fewer doses than prescribed.

  • Try to administer the medicine at the same time each week.
  • Complete the course, even if you feel better after a few doses.
How It Works

How It Works

Mefloquine works by attacking the malaria parasite in the blood. It hinders the parasite’s ability to break down and use hemoglobin, which is essential for its survival. By disrupting this process, the drug kills the parasite and helps prevent or treat malaria infection. It is effective against several strains, including those resistant to other drugs.
