Some say only use it when travelling in Africa. I would check the WHO (World Health Organisation) site and also contact a travel medicine clinic and then make up your own mind afterwards with the information you get to help. Malaria Prevention Medication - Would you consider not taking it?

Supposedly the peak season is June-July. If you are only in Gaziantep for a few days, and are staying in a built-up area, it is not likely you will face any problems. It depends on how cautious you want to be. | Number of Users: 3 | Number of Posts: 3 | |||||||||||
