A Trip to the Chemist (Kenyan Pharmacy)

So, in Kenya pharmacists are called chemists.  Yesterday, we ended up taking nine Agape boys to see the doctor for a variety of maladies . . . malaria, stomach virus, headaches, fevers . . . you name, we got it.  Our nurse at Agape is on leave this month, so the sickness couldn't have come at a worse time.  Anyway, while waiting for the prescriptions to be filled I asked the Indian owners of the pharmacy if I could take a few photos.

A quick look around the chemist shop . . . 

I think my kids drink this every day.

Sounds like something a guy should be selling out of the back of a wagon in the Old West.

You'd think Prunol would be a laxative not cough syrup.

This is the first advertisement I've ever seen for a human rabies vaccination.

What all of this medicine does, I have no idea.

How to take antimalarials . . . 

My family could be the spokesperson for this drug.  We've taken it in the US and in Kenya!

Feeling pooped?  (Ha, ha)

More anti-malarials . . . .
