The problem with waiting until you need it is that you need to start the medication one week in advance. There is a new medication that you can start only a few days before and take every day, but that is very expensive. First, you don't need it unless you are going to the border areas. If you are going to be living in the border areas, you should discuss which drug is appropriate with a doctor at a travel clinic, not just with your family doctor.

Synthia is no slouch on these matters , she has been around the mill , if you personaly feel you need a ton of medications , stop being so cheap , cheap can often be fatal in Asia . It would appear that you have already convinced your good self on this matter and no advise is pertenant . I do not beat about the bush , what actualy is , is , live with it or go with your own concience , this forum gives advice as they have personaly found it to be in thier circumstance and knowledge of thier experience ,to further denegrate thier attempt to be of assistance will , shall i say , be rather impertanent of you . All of this forum consists of people who give freely of thier time , to , and do , an excellent job of so doing to the extent of thier 'Personal 'Knowledge . Please take it as such or just 'Go away' , you are insulting peoples freely given acumulated knowledge , i personaly appreciate all of these participants and what i am able to glean from thier extensive acumulation for a data base .
