Overview MQ 600mg Tablet

Mefloquine 600mg tablets combat parasitic infections, primarily malaria. They also offer relief from nocturnal leg cramps. This medication eradicates the malaria parasite, halting infection progression. Dosage and treatment length should strictly follow your physician's instructions. Taking it with food minimizes stomach irritation. Complete the prescribed course, even with symptom improvement, avoiding missed doses. Prevent mosquito bites using repellents. Side effects, such as nausea, headaches, and vertigo, may occur; prolonged symptoms warrant medical attention. Pre-existing conditions like epilepsy, kidney, heart, or liver issues, should be disclosed to your doctor, as should diabetes, because mefloquine can reduce blood sugar levels. Diabetics must monitor their glucose regularly. Blurred vision is possible, necessitating routine eye exams during treatment. Long-term use may require regular blood cell count monitoring. Report any unusual bruising, bleeding, sore throat, fever, or fatigue to your doctor immediately.
