Stumbled across this and thought I would post it here as a service to others. Might want to avoid using this product if offered.

Would you be able to tell what medication for malaria is being used base on how often it's taken?

Very possible. You would need to look up the various dose sizes available and recommended times for each med. Also should be a term that describes what the chemical composition of what you are taking and can google it. Or just ask the pharmacist who the manufacturer is etc.

Might want to read these articles and look at they symptoms. If you have any of them go to the VA and at least get it on the record if the problem gets more severe.
