Cochrane Review; 6 studies. Is the antimalarial drug mefloquine efficacious & safe for preventing malaria in pregnant women living in stable transmission areas?
• Compared with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine, mefloquine chemoprevention in HIV-uninfected women: reduces risks of maternal peripheral parasitaemia (presence of malaria parasites in the blood of women) & anemia at delivery; makes no difference in the prevalence of adverse maternal outcomes (e.g. low birth weight, prematurity, stillbirths & abortions, & congenital malformations) & in the incidence of clinical malaria episodes during pregnancy; increases risks of drug-related adverse events including vomiting, fatigue/weakness, & dizziness.
• Compared with cotrimoxale prophylaxis alone, mefloquine chemoprevention plus cotrimoxazole in HIV-infected women: reduces risks of maternal peripheral parasitaemia at delivery & the risk of placental malaria; makes no difference in the prevalence of adverse pregnancy outcomes & in the incidence of clinical malaria episodes during pregnancy; increases risks of drug-related adverse events e.g. vomiting & dizziness.
Key messages: Mefloquine is efficacious and safe in terms of adverse pregnancy outcomes (e.g. low birth weight, prematurity, stillbirths & abortions, & congenital malformations) but is worse tolerated than other antimalarial drugs.
