As far as Riamet / Coartem: yes, it is an "anti-malarial" that is ineffective for preventing malaria...but is used to treat malaria once diagnosed (including Falcip). It was routinely used when I was in Southeast Asia by civilian agencies but is not on the military formulary.
But that (again) has nothing to do with your previous post.

Is that the post where you diagnosed me and my buddies as being malaria carriers from many thousands of miles away?
Lariam has been discontinued by many large and knowledgeable organisations because of its inherent dangers. Coartem is a highly effective cure for malaria, although your military doesnt seem to think so. Many of the remainder of malaria treatments have become ineffective over time. We seem to agree on most of this, so where is the pissing contest? Over my state of health?
