Lariam:2002 NOTE from "Doc" Lovy: With the interest
in Lariam, the antimalarial medication that is implicated
in the Fort Bragg situation where 4 wives of servicemen were
killed, I contacted the manufacturer. Lariam was approved for
use by the FDA in 1990, and the product was researched through
the military as well as other sources, so it was probably available
in 1988 or 1989. Therefore, any trooper that had to take antimalarial
pills prior to those dates was not taking this
particular medication. Any trooper who was involved in operations
that involved travel to countries where malaria was prevalent
could have taken the medication. |
