I am trying Malaron right now. What dosage is normal or what dosage has worked for you?

I understand that Mepron can be expensive and also can be covered by insurance. We are going to try Malaron first and see what happens.

Thanks.

I took 4 pills a day at 250/100mg each.

Take it with fatty foods.

Hugs,

I am taking 4 pills Malarone per day (250/100 mg). It took me several months to work up to that dosage.

It helps to take it on a full stomach to prevent nausea and with fats to aid with absorption.

Mine was prescribed four tablets once daily for the first three days and one tablet twice daily after that.

When I took 6 per day, I had these little sore bumps in my mouth come out.

I only weigh about 102lbs so it probably was too much for me.

Hugs,
