Question: I commenced treatment for malaria yesterday this morning my sister says its wrong to take fruitsespecially citrus when using any Aremether lumefantrine 

Should I discontinue my routine sliced lemon in warm water most mornings and stop my natural homemade zobo drink while using this antimalarial

I need your professional advice please Thanks Nelson
Answer: Hi 
Your sister gave a good advice there are studies that show that Vitamin C affects how active your antimalarial can be and most fruits citrus especially contain Vitamin C So its best to hold on with your Zobo and sliced lemon till you are done with the antimalarial Its just for 3 days when you are done You can commence them again 
Thanks
