Hi Doctor, I was born with sickle cell anemia. growing up I would get frequent pain crisis. However, as I made the needed lifestyle changes - drinking lots of water, not getting too fatigued in exercise. etc... I also, take fansidar, an anti malaria medicine. I notice that if it take a full dose for an adult every 6 weeks, I feel a lot stronger carrying out my day-to-day activities. My question is: Is it safe taking this drug as frequently as I do. I ve been taking it for over 10 years now. Thanks in advance...
Howell come to ChatDoctorIf this is positive case of malaria then this need to be treated regardless what the medical condition you have because malaria can not be left untreated, because this is danger disease may prove fatal if not treated, because of the antimalarial if some side effect noticed, so this can be managed, hope this information helps.
