Answer by Sonia Singh
Most of the anti-malarials, including doxycycline and chloroquine, are available over-the-counter in Central and South America. You should be able to find what you need in the major cities. They may not be available in the pharmacies in smaller towns. From what I have found through my searches, the price will be much cheaper than what you would pay in Europe or the US.

You should take it.
