E-drug: Chloroquine + proguanil as malaria prophylaxis
------------------------------------------------------

Can e-druggers let me have their opinion on the efficacy of 
chloroquine and proguanil (Paludrine) as compared to alternatives? 
Reports of decreasing efficacy in Africa are worrying me, and I 
wonder whether I can still recommend the combination as an 
alternative to mefloquine, or whether doxycycline should be the 
recommended alternative, as I believe is the US practice, proguanil 
not being registered in the USA>

Thanks for your help.
