You need to be taking this type of medication before you get to The Gambia.
The Gambia is not safe without anti-malaria medication.

Ricky has probably saved you from severe illness or death - if you take his advice. You can get Malarone once there as a refill. How long will you be there?

Lariam is very hard to find in many places in Africa and very expensive. Where are you from? Malarone is a great all-round option as its an anti-biotic as well.

Thanks DAO for the back up.
I have known two people who, once returned from their holiday in The Gambia, were dead within the month.
Don't feck with The Gambia, it's mozzies are the nastiest in the World.
