For Malaria Prevention: My two-and-half year old son had severe reactions to Malarone. We were put on Daraprim for the entire 6 weeks of our stay and two weeks following our return to the US and we never got sick. We took precautions to not get bitten but did wind up getting a few mosquito bites but we never got sick. So, my feeling is the Daraprim worked in preventing us from getting malaria!
