We are going to Vietnam in February and need anti-malarial medication - doxycycline I think. Can we get this here without a prescription? Thanks.

Is there a problem getting a prescription from your Doctor balababe? If you can't get it over the counter you could ring Dr Whittaker and ask her for a prescription it will only cost 3€.

There is no problem, Suej - I was just being lazy. Thanks for the advice. Tickey - need them for three weeks - and I have to have doxycyline - apparently this means 100 pills for both of us.

Deltaprim is just another name and you only need to take one a week starting two weeks before you leave and ending two weeks on your return. It is of course up to you!
