What the community said

The most important items to pack are remedies for food poisoning and allergies. If you have no chronic conditions, everything else can be purchased locally.

Bring your own antihistamines from home — whichever brand works for you personally (e.g. Suprastin/chlorphenamine). Everyone reacts differently, so stick to what you know.

Antihistamine (e.g. Suprastin/chlorphenamine)

Pack insect and mosquito repellent that suits your skin. Nha Trang isn't jungle territory, but protection from bites is still recommended.

You can top up your basic medical kit at local pharmacies in Nha Trang — they are well-stocked. However, any medication for chronic conditions should be brought from home.
