About a year ago I got a prescription for Zithromax as a precaution when I took a month long trip to Thailand last summer. Pfizer makes this antibiotic. Basically, it's a last resort if you happen to get some kind of bacterial (diahrrea) infection in the developing world. You don't want to take it unless you're going to die. That's what the pharmacist told me, anyway. It may be that using it is thought to lessen your resistance later on. I never used the prescription and it's been sitting in my cupboard for about 9 months.
A friend of mine left for Thailand a few days ago. Out of the goodness of my heart, I willed away my pills to him. Basically, I figured they'd go to waste if he didn't take them.
So today I hear some exciting news. The gist of it is that I shouldn't have thrown out the pills. I may be going back to Thailand this summer! The details have yet to be worked out and I will give a fuller report next week. Until then, I am really hoping Dan doesn't manage to get a bad case of the runs and use up my Zithromax. I may need it, afterall.
