Travellers Diarrhoea

About 50% of UK travellers get traveller’s diarrhoea whilst holidaying in developing countries. High-risk destinations include most of Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Symptoms including passing 3-5 watery stools a day, stomach cramps, fever and vomiting are very common and unpleasant. These can set in very quickly at the beginning of your trip and can last for just a few days or even the whole duration of your trip. Events can be isolated or can recur following recontamination.

No vaccines are currently available against this kind of infection, however antibiotics can be prescribed as a precautionary measure if you are travelling to a country where you are likely to be contaminated. Antibiotics can be used to treat the cause of illness and put a stop to unpleasant symptoms by killing bacteria.

PharmaDoctor can provide you with an online prescription for preventative traveller's diarrhoea medication following an online consultation with our UK registered doctor.
