Doxycycline

I'm currently taking Doxycycline for anti-malaria reasons. I was wondering if it's unsafe to take for 5 consecutive months?

Hello!

Take some other more sensitive anti malaria medications.

Chloroquine is the best and for resistant cases, quinine can be given.

Follow up with a GP and go for the best prophylaxis and treatment.

Protect yourself from mosquito bites and go for blood slides testing.

Take care!
