Abstract

To evaluate if cost and availability of antimalarials are barriers to malaria chemoprophylaxis and treatment, we surveyed retail pharmacies in Minneapolis/Saint Paul and New York City on the price and stocking of antimalarials. We demonstrated extreme price variability among pharmacies and limited availability for some recommended antimalarials.
