Hello, I served in the British army from 1988 - 1996, during this time I toured Belize and Kenya. Specifically whilst in Kenya I had a episode where I suffered 2 days + of hot/cold chills, fatigue, vomiting, high temp and skin color of deep yellow. My Staff Sergeant kept me in bed and that was it. Since then, I have had episodes of hot and cold sweats with headaches usually 5-6 months apart and on occasion my skin has again turned yellow over the last 5-6 years possibly more. Last month I donated blood and they have informed me that I have malarial antibodies and cannot donate any more. So, from that limited information that I have, I received the donor letter Thursday. Do I have recurring malaria and if so is there a treatment that you know of in the UK as my doctor says not to worry, ...

I'm 6wks pregnant and was treated for malaria given quinine 12doses.Also drank some herbal missed with gin . Now my question is my baby safe from deformity? ## Alcohol is never a good idea, while pregnant, in any amount, it could cause fetal alcohol syndrome, according to the NIH, so you need to make sure your doctor is aware that you drank something mixed with gin. As to the use of Quinine during pregnancy, it is the recommended treatment and, according to the U.S. FDA, no risks to the baby have been proven. Are you on any other medications?

My Dr gave me Esomeprazole for ulcers and said if it continues i should go in for an endoscopy; but till now the burning continues and I am really so uncomfortable. A friend of mine recommends that i try using Pylokit for treatment. Please advise me ASAP. ## idk what pylokit is, but I do know with omeperazole and sacrafate aka sulcrafate helped tremendously while the omeperazole kicked in. I was able to wean myself of the sacrafate (as ususally this is not a long term solution) eventually after eating a lot of yogurt I got off the ompereazole.

Can this be a form or substitute of benicar hct ??? ## Hello, Robb! This tablet is manufactured by Zydus Pharmaceuticals and they list is as containing 200mgs of Hydroxychloroquine. The FDA shows this medication as being used to treat or prevent malaria. Its typical side effects may include nausea, blurred vision, headache, unusual bruising and weakness. So no, it is not a substitute for Benicar and will do nothing to treat high blood pressure or a cardiac condition. Bencher contains the active ingredient Olmesartan, which is classified by the FDA as an ARB. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain and hypotension. Were you given this in place of Benicar? ## Yes by mistake of the pharmacist....... I noticed that the pills were different tha...
