Malaria Treatment and dizzyness
No medication is 100% effective in treating malaria. For best results, keep using the medication as directed. Talk with your doctor if you have fever, vomiting, or diarrhea during your treatment. Mefloquine is an antimalarial agent for oral administration. Mefloquine is an antimalarial agent that acts as a blood schizonticide. It is effective against all species of malaria (P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae and P. ovale). Its exact mechanism of action is not known. Similar to chloroquine and quinine, mefloquine appears to interfere with the parasite's ability to metabolize and utilise erythrocyte hemoglobin. Mefloquine may exert its antimalarial action by disrupting the membrane trafficking events involved in the uptake of phospholipids. Treatment of acute malaria infections : Mefloquine is indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate acute malaria caused by mefloquine-susceptible strains of P. falciparum (both chloroquine-susceptible and resistant strains)
