What medicines to pack for Egypt to avoid or treat traveler's diarrhea?

Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 19 days ago

TL;DR

Pack plenty of anti-diarrhea and anti-nausea medication — stomach issues are very common in Egypt. Antinal is a locally available option.

What the community said

Hotel food gets repetitive quickly. Stomach issues are very common — in one couple, both got sick, one on day two and the other on day three. Bring more anti-diarrhea and anti-nausea medicine than you think you'll need.

For a stomach upset lasting two days (possibly from cocktails or food), Antinal worked well — it's available to buy locally in Egypt.

Painkillers help with neck or muscle pain after excursions. It's worth packing a general painkiller for headaches, muscle aches, and inflammation.
