Metronidazol (generic name) is an antibiotic effective against anaerobic bacteria and certain parasites. It is effective for dracunculiasis, giardiasis, trichomoniasis, and amebiasis.

I picked up some today. I'm trying it.

May I suggest a different route on your return to Medellin? I would go by way of Pasto, Popayan, Cali (or Palmira), Tulua. Then you can continue north (and more direct) to Medellin -OR- if you're in no rush to get back to Medellin, divert slightly east to Armenia, el Eje Cafetero (the coffee region), Nevado del Ruiz (a beautiful snow capped volcano... dormant), Manizales, Medellin.

Will you be in Medellin in August?

I don't plan to return to Colombia with the moto. I don't like to backtrack any more than I have to. I'm headed as far south as time permits and then dispose or store the bike for a return in the future.
