Bringing up an old one i know...
OK, so its finally about that time. 2 weeks to redeployment and we are all doing our PDHA crap. We all got issued more Doxy and 2 weeks worth of Primaquine. Since I haven't really dealt with this stuff before, I wanted to get some advice from the guys who have before I answer all my guys' questions (that they obviously couldn't ask the doc when they did the interview...
)
A few of the joes have been told that while they're on the Primaquine they can't drink. Is this true, or just something they're putting out to mess with everyone?
Second, if the Doxy is just a malaria prophylaxis, and the Primaquine is the actual med that gets rid of it, is it really necessary to continue to take the Doxy for 4 additional weeks (even though we've only got 2 weeks worth of Primaquine to kill it)?
Thanks in advance guys. For those staying here, stay safe and get home soon.
