E-DRUG: Use of Maloprim as malaria chemoprophylaxis (4)
-------------------------------------------------------

dear E-druggers,

The combination of Pyrimethamine/Dapsone is still very widely used as a
malaria prophylaxis in Zimbabwe. There is nothing else to choose
from. Proguanil is available but too expensive for most people and the supply is not constant. Artemether/Lumefantrine is reserved for teatment as well as Primethamine/Sulphadoxine and Chloroquine.
