When prescribed of antibiotics, strict to the given dose and intervals. When buying drugs at local drugs stores, travelers should be careful of the expiry date printed on the label. Travelers should take note that medications, drugs or even alcoholic beverages may be more potent and of a different composition than similar ones in their home countries.
