... post exposure medication phase, I will have 17 days before needing to start antimalarial (Melarone) preventatives again. Is it best for my body to have a rest from the drug or is the on and off harder on the body? PS Cape Town really is supposed to be OK. Just northern areas and certain out -outlying parks. Thanks Karen

It just depends on what your doctor advised you to do. The on and off shouldn't be hard on your body but if your doctor said to take it continuously throughout your travels then you should take it continuously. In terms of cover (if you have enough doses) it will probably be best for you to take it without a break to be absolutely sure that you are protected.
