==Overview==
|-
'''Mefloquine''' hydrochloride (Lariam, Mephaquin or Mefliam) is an orally administered [[antimalarial drug|medication]] used in the prevention and treatment of [[malaria]].  Mefloquine was developed in the 1970s at the [[United States Department of Defense]]'s [[Walter Reed Army Institute of Research]] as a synthetic analogue of [[quinine]].  The brand name drug, Lariam, is manufactured by the Swiss company [[Hoffmann–La Roche]].  In August 2009, Roche stopped marketing Lariam in the United States.  Generic mefloquine from other manufacturers is still widely available. Rare but serious neuropsychiatric problems have been associated with its use.<ref name=":0">Thomas, Katie.  "F. D. A. Strengthens Warnings on Lariam, an Anti-Malarial Drug."  ''The New York Times''.
