A member asked:
I am in thailand & had travellers diarrhea. i administered gastro stop & gastrolyte symptoms settled. do i still need to take 500 mg azithromycin x 3?

Diarrhea: If no more symptoms, you don't need to take antibiotics. Azithromycin is not my drug of choice to treat diarrhea as it is covering mostly the gram positive bacteria but not the gram negative as usually the organism causing diarrhea. Always drink water from bottle water.
