Do I need to bring a lot of medicine to Nha Trang, or can I just buy what I need at local pharmacies?

One couple flew to Nha Trang with just backpacks and no suitcase — bought clothes locally at a market and skipped packing medicine, since local pharmacies are cheap and you can buy whatever you need on the spot. Their advice: only bring specific meds if you have a chronic condition.

One traveler mentioned a friend advised packing as much medicine as possible just in case, but admitted she didn't want a first-aid kit taking up half her suitcase — implying it's likely overkill.

There's a common joking observation that for many tourists, the first-aid kit takes up literally half the suitcase when traveling abroad — a fairly typical habit before a trip to Nha Trang.
