Mefloquine is an orally administered antimalarial drug used as a prophylaxis against and treatment for malaria. It also goes by the trade name Lariam® (manufactured by Roche Pharmaceuticals) and chemical name mefloquine hydrochloride (forumulated with HCl). Mefloquine was developed in the 1970s at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in the U.S. as a chemical synthetic similar to quinine.

Uses

---

Mefloquine is used to prevent malaria (malaria prophylaxis) and also in the treatment of chloroquine-resistant falciparum malaria. As mefloquine resistance spreads, mefloquine has started to lose its efficacy.

Mefloquine is the drug of choice in chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium vivax.

Evaluating which anti-malarial to use for Ghana, if any. It didn't help that the RN referred to Mefloquine as "the one with the nightmares."
