Fansidar is an anti-malarial drug suitable for pregnant women. Pregnant women should take it to protect themselves from malaria. Sleeping under a mosquito net prevents malaria. Pregnant women MUST avoid getting malaria as it can kill the unborn baby. If you have symptoms get tested IMMEDIATELY. Tell pharmacists you are pregnant before taking treatment. A pregnant woman should take two doses before term or three if HIV positive.
