[|AI|]  HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor. Chemoprophylais against malaria with any anti-malarial Chat Doctor. This is necessary to kill any persisting forms in liver of malarial parasites. The guidelines recommend taking the antimalarial irrespective of whether you have history of mosquito bite in high risk area. You can talk with your physician regarding taking weekly doses of chloroquine or biweekly doses of mefloquine as alternative to daily regimen of doxycycline. Hope I answered your query.
