[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Got a yeast infection in rural India in 1992 while backpacking.

I thought I would die. It all ended with a sweet woman from the Calcutta consulate arriving in a car to a random town we made it to with a phone- with Monistat. [/quote]

Wow, you couldn’t procure that yourself? That is not at all within a consulate’s duties. [/quote]

DP here. Most likely not. Awesome of the consulate the help out. Good for them.

We lived overseas for years attached to an embassy. I advised newcomers to consider throwing a box or two of Monistat in their luggage, just in case. It was an awkward convo but way less awkward than trying to procure it where we were and when in pain.[/quote]

I don’t buy it. There are pharmacies on every corner in India and the developing world. No way there isn’t something equivalent available. [/quote]

Seriously? You travel very narrow swaths of the developing world and in very recent times. Monistat only became available OTC in the US in 1991.[/quote]
