What malaria drug is good for first trimester cos the one the doctor prescribed is scarce. So I need alternative
Amatem too is safe for all stages
For Malaria Treatment in pregnancy. 1.If your pregnancy is less than 13 weeks (ie within the first trimester) and you've been diagnosed to have malaria, your doctor will prescribe Tab chloroquine 4-4-2 to be taken alongside Tab piriton to prevent body itching. 2.If your pregnancy is more than 13 weeks and you've been diagnosed to have malaria, your doctor will prescribe Tab lonart D/s for you. Reason is because tab lonart is not safe in the first trimester (ie first 13 weeks of pregnancy) as it will adversely affect the developing baby but it's safe afterwards.
