What Is Traveller’s Diarrhoea?
Traveller’s diarrhoea is a common illness caused by bacteria found in contaminated food or water, particularly in parts of Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. Symptoms usually include frequent loose stools, abdominal cramps, nausea, bloating, and sometimes fever.
While many cases are mild and settle on their own, moderate to severe symptoms can disrupt travel plans and increase the risk of dehydration. Azithromycin is a recommended antibiotic for treating bacterial traveller’s diarrhoea, especially in regions where other antibiotics may be less effective.
Our service allows you to travel prepared, with clinically approved treatment available if symptoms develop.
