Has anyone else broken out into an incredibly itchy red rash from the neck down after taking these? Mine got so bad I had to visit a doctor in Ubud (thankfully I have insurance)and now I'm on anti-histamine tablets, anti-inflamitories along with a cream and have been told to avoid alchol till tablets are finished (which is the remainder of my stay here) doh! I have stopped taking the malaria tablets as I have done research and found that unless you are visiting the more remote areas such as Lombok and the islands the risk isn't terribly high and they were making my life a misery - the rash is slowly improving after taking the meds.
