Lariam (active ingredient: mefloquine) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:
Lariam belongs to a class of drugs known as antimalarials, which work by interfering with the growth of parasites in the red blood cells.
Mefloquine is an oral medication that comes in tablet form. It should be taken with food and at least 8 ounces of water. Swallow the tablets whole or crush and mix them with water, milk, or other beverages. If you are using mefloquine to prevent malaria, you will take it once a week on the same day each week. Your treatment will begin 1 to 3 weeks before your trip to a malaria-prone area and continue for 4 weeks after your return.
When using mefloquine to treat malaria, your doctor will give you specific instructions on how often to take it. Children may be given smaller but more frequent doses. Please follow the instructions on the prescription label very carefully and do not hesitate to ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain anything you do not understand.
If you vomit less than 30 minutes after taking mefloquine, you should take another full dose, and for vomiting occurring after 30 to 60 minutes, you should take another half dose. If you vomit again after taking an extra dose, immediately contact your doctor.
