Ok...I've actually seen a couple of different answers, so I'm going to ask the "experts"...

Which drug(s) is used for malaria prophylaxis?
Which drug(s) is used for malaria treatment?

 

[mjl1717]

chloroquine for blood forms and prophalaxis
primaquine for tissue schizonts,hypnozoites gametes
mefloquine for drug resistant falciparum-erythrocytic form
Ironically quinidine and quinine are also used for blood schizonts/treatment
