It is important that your family doctor check your progress after treat. This is to make sure that the infection is cleared up completely and to allow your family doctor to check for any unwanted effects.

If your symptoms do not improve after you have taken this drug for the full course of treat, or if they become worse, check with your family doctor.

Malaria is spread by the bites of certain kinds of infected female mosquitoes. If you are living in, or will be traveling to, an area where there is a risk of getting malaria, the following mosquito-control measures will help to prevent infection:

• If possible, avoid going out between dusk and dawn because it is at these times that mosquitoes most commonly bite.
• Wear long-sleeved shirts and long trousers to protect your arms and legs, especially from dusk through dawn when mosquitoes are out.
• Apply insect repellant, preferably one containing DEET, to uncovered areas of the skin from dusk through dawn when mosquitoes are out.
• If possible, sleep in a screened or air-conditioned room or under mosquito netting sprayed with insecticide to avoid being bitten by malaria-carrying mosquitoes.
• Use mosquito coils or sprays to kill mosquitoes in living and sleeping quarters during evening and nighttime hours.
