Quinine
Margaret Maslow, Colorado:
Last year I have traveled to Madagascar. It is the biggest island in the Indian Ocean and the biggest island in the whole world. The flora and fauna are astonishing there, as well as the range of different bacteria and infections one can catch there. Before the trip I have taken Quinine to protect me from malaria as it is a very nasty disease to catch. I started on Quinine two days before the departure and continued for several days after I came back. I believe it's due to Quinine that I have not contracted malaria, neither have I had any side effects connected with taking the medication. It is very important that such vital drugs that help prevent life-threatening diseases do not create major difficulties for people who have no other way out but taking them.
Brian Warren, Fort Knox:
I had previously taken Quinine when traveling to areas with malaria. Every time the medication worked flawlessly, well at least I have had no cases of malaria. And other people, whom I know travelling to Africa and countries with possible infection risk, also vote for Quinine as an effective medication. It was my family physician who advised me to take the drug, and I am grateful to him for the piece of advice. I have heard of horrible side effects people have with other meds for malaria prevention and treatment. With Quinine everything goes absolutely smoothly and trouble-free, at least in my case it was like this. In other words, I consider Quinine to be a very effective medication for its purpose and I would recommend other travellers to use it.
Dorothy Bale, Virginia:
I last used Quinine about three years ago on a trip to India, it was our honey moon destination. Such countries with tropical climate are well-known for the risk of malaria for tourists from other regions. Every person who travels there should take preventive measures to avoid the disease. I am strongly convinced that is this medication that prevented me from getting malaria. The only side effect was strange taste, or better to say lack of any taste at all during the first day after starting the treatment. But then everything got back to normal. My husband also took Quinine before the departure and he's health is absolutely ok as well. I think Quinine does its job.
Ian Fox, Regina:
Last year I was going for a month long trip to Thailand. The company I work at was opening a new development department there and I was to provide the support on site. My doctor informed me about the preventive measures I had to take before going to that region in order not to fall ill with malaria. He said Quinine was the best medication from his point of view. As I had no objections I ordered the drug and started taking it. No side effects and no obvious positive effect as well. But then I realized the importance of such medications when I saw people suffering from malaria. The disease is really horrible and I?m grateful to the producers of Quinine as the medication they created protected me from a life-threat. Would recommend it to others!
