First, have you looked into medical tourism? That might be a solution to just take a week off and go to a medical tourism friendly country. Looks like it's 2$ a day in Colombia (based on the wiki entry) vs 62$ a day in the United States so if you're insurance isn't cover a good chunk of it, that savings should soften the travel cost some. >Is there a black market for this? Sorta? A lot of prepper types will keep various fish antibiotics, which you can buy freely and legally online (in the United States anyway) that just happen to conveniently come in gel caps in human dosages. Personally I always keep a bottle of amoxicillin, penicillin and cephalexin on hand and replace them every 18 months or so (I've never taken any of them, but I take comfort knowing they are sitting in a drawer if there's ever some crazy scenario where I need one of them and pharmacies are dry). I've never seen rifaximin though (probably because it is new and fantastically expensive). Examples: - Fish Mox & Mox Forte (Amoxicillin) - Fish Flex & Flex Forte (Cephalexin/Keflex) - Fish Zole & Zole Forte (Metronidazole) - Fish Flox & Flox Forte (Ciprofloxacin) - Fish Pen & Pen Forte (Penicillin) - Fish Cin (Clindamycin) - Fish Sulfa Forte (Sulfameth/Trimethoprim) - Fish Fungus (Ketoconazole) - Fish Mycin (Erythromycin) - Fish Doxy (Doxycycline) - Fish Flucon (Fluconazole) - Fish Min (Minocycline) - Bird Biotic (Doxycycline) - Bird Sulfa (Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim) - Bird Azithro (Azithromycin)
