- Doxycycline
- Augmentin
- Ciprofloxin (“Cipro”)
- Bactrim (from the sulfa family).
Talk with your doctor now about how to get these drugs. He or she may have free trial packs (like the popular “Z-Pac”) to share with you. Doctors will often prescribe Cipro and Bactrim DS (both as generics) for people planning overseas trips.
You can get 60 pills (a one-month supply) of each at Wal-Mart for $20 or a 10-day supply for $10. Rite Aid sells generic Doxycycline for a similar price.
Store these drugs in a sealed freezer bag with desiccant (anti-moisture) packets inside. Place them in the freezer. Once thawed, they will last for six to 12 months when kept at room temperature.
