Is doxy available over-the-counter in kigali and at what approximate cost? I usually wait until I'm in country to pick up most of my anti-malarial run because it is typically cheaper and want to know if that will be the same for Rwanda.

Cost per pill - if you buy the generic versions which are found everywhere - negligible and hardly worth thinking about. The same goes for all the pharmaceuticals there.

Alaxin/Cotexin which cleared up my malaria (twice) in a day are around 7000FRW, which was the most expensive for any pills I encountered. If you get malaria then they are the pills you need (it's just dihydroartemisinin), available in most places over the counter.
