Many physicians advise their patients to travel with a supply of a general antibiotic (eg, amoxicillin, erythromycin), especially if they are going to remote areas. Other suggested medications include ciprofloxacin (Cipro), norfloxacin (Noroxin), and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra) for treating urinary infections or traveler's diarrhea. Antibiotic prophylaxis against traveler's diarrhea is not recommended. However, several placebo-controlled studies have shown that prophylactic use of bismuth subsalicylate (2 oz or two tablets four times daily) decreases the incidence of diarrhea by about 60%.

Food-borne illness The risk of traveler's diarrhea in developing countries can be as high as 60%. Contaminated foods not adequately prepared are a common cause of intestinal infections. To help prevent such illnesses, travelers should be encouraged to thoroughly clean and cook all vegetables and meats. Food should be served hot. Peeled fruits are generally safe. However, milk and milk products (eg, cheese, ice cream) that are not pasteurized, as well as cold buffets, salads, and chilled desserts, should be avoided. Consumption of seafood, beef, pork, or sausage that is raw, undercooked, smoked, pickled, or salted can lead to trichinosis or tapeworm infection. Game fish from tropical waters also may cause ciguatera poisoning. Travelers should avoid buying food from street vendors and eating in establishments that have dirty rest rooms.
