For clients traveling to regions of the world with malaria, take 500mg tablets once daily beginning one to two weeks before traveling and continue four weeks after leaving the country containing malaria parasites. Acute attacks are treated by giving 1g of the drug orally. Then a smaller dose of the drug is giving 6, 24, and 48 hours later. Doses for children are based on weight. Give at least four hours before or after anti-acids or laxatives for adequate absorption. Give with food to prevent GI effects.
