Just googled that, did Dr H say he uses it, the only information I can find is that it's for patients on chemotherapy and is only licensed for use in the US at the moment.

Regarding what to take... not sure if this will be necessary, but better safe than very sorry:

I am definitely taking a fast-acting laxative (e.g. Micralax by Johnson & Johnson) and a strong hemorrhoid cream (i.e. with plenty of hydrocortisone).

This might be overkill, but if it is very hot, then a small spray bottle might be nice to have. Looks like the week of Aug. 20th will be quite warm.

Put google translate on your smart phone. An eye mask so you can asleep in a bright room. Lip balm. Dry mouth spray. A towel. Moisturiser, your skin will get dry.

Just thought of a few more:
*Any recent test results that might be of interest (blood, gastroscopy, other medical reports)
*Medical healthcards or private health insurance cards.
*Copy of travel insurance documents, if you have any, and contact numbers.
*Contacts details of your doctor back home, as well as contact details of family in case of complications.
