In adition I would like you to provide the side effects of the antimalarial Mefloquine:
https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/mefloquine-oral-route/side-effects/drg-20067686?p=1

Which is used alone or in combination with quinine and chloroquine as used in this study:
>>15572788

Here are the Drug interactions:
"Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is not recommended. Your doctor may decide not to treat you with this medication or change some of the other medicines you take."
Other antimalarials mentioned:
>Chloroquine
>Quinine

The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
>Malaria, severe or life-threatening

Side effects:
More common:
Diarrhea
emotional problems
nausea
stomach pain

Rare:
chills
confusion
convulsions (seizures)
cough or hoarseness
vomiting

(all very malaria like)

And as the CDC states:
"Mefloquine may also cause stomach pain, nausea,
and vomiting. These side effects can often be
lessened by taking mefloquine with food.
Mefloquine is eliminated slowly from the body
and so the side effects may continue for weeks
after you have stopped taking the drug. "
