Yes, the personnel serving in Mali now are taking Lariam, but for my short visit, I was prescribed Malarone which is the more suitable drug for a very short visit. I had to take the medication for three to four days before I travelled to Mali, during my stay in Mali and for a further seven to ten days after my trip, along with other prescribed medications I was advised of - injections and other medication. That is what I had to go through, based on the expert advice I received. There is other expert advice given for the members who are serving out there currently. I will rely on that expert advice.
