Based on 2 discussions with 2 participants · Last activity: 2 days ago
TL;DR
Amoxiclav is hard to find in Nha Trang pharmacies and often out of stock. Antiseptics are limited to iodine and chlorhexidine. For gut recovery after antibiotics, ask for 'men vi sinh' (probiotics) at the pharmacy.

To restore gut flora after antibiotics, ask for 'men vi sinh' at any pharmacy — that's the Vietnamese term for probiotics. You can also say 'probiotic' and staff will usually understand. Local equivalents of Linex or Bifiform are available under different brand names.

After surgery, one traveler found Amoxiclav completely unavailable in Nha Trang pharmacies, with no alternatives offered. Antiseptics were also limited — only iodine and chlorhexidine were in stock. The medication was eventually sourced through a personal contact rather than a pharmacy.

Amoxiclav is difficult to find in Nha Trang pharmacies. If your supply runs out or gets damaged, check multiple pharmacies as stock is unreliable. It's advisable to bring a sufficient supply of antibiotics from home, especially for longer stays.
