answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2014 answer text <p>Mefloquine (commercially known as Lariam) is one of a number of effective methods of malaria chemoprophylaxis used by the military in many parts of the world where Service personnel deploy. The exact choice of drug depends on a number of factors, including the region the individual is deploying to, the health of the individual and any history of side effects. Mefloquine and other antimalarial drugs used by the military are licensed in the UK by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, based on the expert guidance of the Advisory Committee for Malaria Prevention of Public Health England. The Ministry of Defence reviews its policy on the use of antimalarial drugs in line with advice from the Advisory Committee.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Astor of Hever question first answered 07/11/2014 14:51:39 answering member 3428 label Biography information for Lord Astor of Hever
