Is it safe to take augmentin for a chest infection while taking malaria prophylaxis (malanil)? ## Hello, H! How are you? I didn't find any interactions listed between these medications, but you should check with your doctor to be certain. Learn more Augmentin details here. Learn more Malarone details here. The Augmentin is an antibiotic and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

Has anyone taking malanil ever had severe itching especially on you palms? ## Hello, Judy! How are you doing? Sorry about the itching. Malanil/Malarone is actually often the preferred choice for malaria treatment or prophylaxis, because it's well tolerated and doesn't commonly cause problematic side effects and even among the ones that have been known to occur, itching isn't typically one of them. Learn more Malanil details here. Have you consulted your doctor about the problem?

The pill is round. ## white round pill with G over 1 on one side ## This is another one that I've spent several days checking for, off an on, and have run searches in all of our prescription drug resources, but I am just not locating anything on it.

small pink round tablet one face has nothing on it & the other face divided into two parts one has gx on it & the other part has cn3 on it ## I just recieved my supposedly vitamin d 50,000 IU prescribsion, but instead of the green oval gel capsules, I recieved a reddish brown tablet that had nothing on one side and on the other side it had a GX on the top and CM3 on the bottom. The pharmacist said it was an old version of vitamin d that they never switched out but I have no clue if this statement was true! I was just wondering if he was telling the truth, and if not then what the heck was I given? Please help ## I know you probably don't care anymore, but its Malarone, a drug used to prevent and cure malaria.
