Question: Hi I'm currently in Laos taking Malarone, I've been taking for 6 days so far and this morning I noticed pin prick bleeding spots over my legs and arms? Is this a serious side effect of Malarone, do I need to stop taking them and see a doctor or can I keep taking them? Thanks


Answer: It might be a side effect of the medicine. If the pinprick bleeding is getting worse in the next 24 hours, please seek medical advice locally.
