Lonart!! This drug scares the hell out of me. I lost a baby after using the said drug. Although, I never knew I ws pregnant. It may not have been the drug though…but I'm expecting another. Whew!! Thanks to God.
I tink dt u Shld read d leaflet dt came wt d drug,i dnt really tink it's dangerous cos it was given 2 u by a medical doctor,expect dt he didn't knw dt u re pregnant.
there are medicines for pregnant women. Just let ur doctor know u are pregnant, so he can know how to treat you. Its not advisable to ask around for drugs to use, its as good as going to a near by chemist to mix drugs for you. If u have doubts about the lonat the see another doctor let him run a test on u, and let him prescribe drugs for you.
I was diagnosed with malaria at 9 weeks but got treated at 14weeks with Lonart. Couldn't take it in d first trimester. Baby and I are fine and malaria free. Currently 21 weeks.
I forgot to mention that I also took it with my first baby. She's 3 now. Healthy as can be by God's grace. If you're not comfy, ask for another drug. Remember malaria is dangerous in pregnancy. Get treated.
I guess anon 4:39 has scared the poster. If I'm the one, I no go drink A̶̲̥̅♏ oº°˚˚˚°º.
Does your doctor know you are pregnant. If he does and he prescribed the drug, then use it or get a second opinion.
Lonart is a very good malaria drug, very effective, if your doctor is aware that you are pregy, and gave you the drug, then its ok to use it, but if he is not aware, I will advice you let him know that you are pregnant, also it will be adviceable you read the leaflet inside for Better understand if its safe for pregnant women

Please its not everything drug that your doctor recommend that you should take while pregnant. The only malaria drug recommended for pregnant women after the first Trimester is Fansidar which is now swidar (sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine). Get a second opinion from an experienced doctor.
just seeing this please. do not use any malaria drug. use any malaria drug that has arthemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) it' s the best for malaria and also for pregnant women with malaria, although its more expensive than the regular malaria tablets. you can read more about ACT online or ask your doctor
me too , I support the fansidar. I treated maleria with it just pass first trimester. all drugs other than paracetamol are not advidsable in first trimester.pls ma go and talk to a doctor
Lonart belongs to the ACT group!
17 weeks is in the second trimester, not first!
I think you are right anon. All my pregnancies it's Fansidar my doc prescribes for malaria.
Poster pls see another doc if you are not comfortable with this one.
Poster: Thanks everyone, spoke to a gyne about the med and she said it's ok since am in my 2nd trimester.
Pls where can I get a good carseat for my baby
Fansidar Is the only antimalarial drug intake while pregnant bit of the malaria is severe, go for chloroquine injection under the watchful eyes of a good doctor..
Any good supermarket
