Abstract

The drugs available for malaria chemoprophylaxis in pregnancy and their posology, side-effect in pregnant women and foetus are analyzed particularly for areas of high multidrug resistance. Chloroquine and proguanil are the most used with few side-effects, while pyrimethamine is recommended only for chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum spp.
