Infographic: Most mefloquine users were only told about a few possible side effects like dreams, anxiety, and dizziness. At the very least, anyone using mefloquine should have been told, (highlighted quote) "If you experience any side effects, immediately cease use!" (bold) NOT Speech bubbles saying "Suck it up, soldier." "Most people tolerate the drug very well" "It's probably just travel stress." "The alternatives are much more expensive." Bottom note: At Mefaction we do not believe this drug should have been given to anyone whose side effects could be confused with reactions to their situation.

Blatant misinformation and shaming were used to pressure service members, volunteers, and even tourists into using mefloquine and feeling like a burden if they requested another drug. #mefloquine #mefloquinetoxicity #lariam #antimalaria #sideeffects

Mef Action speech bubble asking, What side effects were you warned about when you were given mefloquine?

Whether given #mefloquine ( #lariam ) by your government or receiving a prescription from a doctor, you may have been warned about some side effects. I was warned about nightmares and anxiety. How about you? #mefloquinetoxicity #antimalaria #sideeffects
