Anti-malarial tablets warning
A student who committed suicide after becoming depressed had taken anti-malaria tablets. An inquest into her death was not
able to find any link but the girl’s parents said they thought that there was a connection between the anti-malaria tablets,
Lariam, and their daughter’s depression and ultimate suicide. The parents were quoted as saying they would not be suing the
makers of the drug, Roche, because money would not bring back their daughter.
