Chloroquine


Ok, so you're gonna need some prophylaxis if you're going anywhere warmer than Bognor Regis

But it can cause

  • Hair discolouration and photosensitivity
  • Deafness and blindness (well corneal opacities and retinopathies)

Handily most malarial parasites are sensitive to chloroquine so it can treat most malaria from around the world except the nasty boy falciparum - that's gonna need quinine and Fansidar
