Good primer for the antibiotic train. Thanks Doc
As for combat antibiotics go, I carried C-fox (cefoxitan). It's a Gorillacilin, and it is priced well. There are some slightly better but much more pricey. In combat, I actually pumped it on most of my combat wounded, if I had time prior to MEDEVAC.
When in South America (or put your groups honey pot location here), make sure you carry plenty of Rocephin for your silly Brovos that don't like wearing condoms. Don't forget to treat for Clamydia too! There's always one that goes in after PCOD And comes crying to you three days before redeployment. Not your job to be his pastor or mommy, just get them home clean.
Love doxy, bactrim, metro, azithro.
Other awesome drugs in my bag. Lidocaine, promethazine, narcan, some type of pain med depending on location, morphine, nubain, toradol and ultram(PO).
All of these will actually fit in your aidbag in small quantities. The majority stays in your boxes or whatever you guys have nowadays and I always gave my guys their own little baggies with their malaria proph, Motrin, sudafed and cough meds, etc.
