I truly would not suggest abusing this, but doxycycline is currently used as an antimalarial.

If you actually need it quickly, call a travel clinic and say you are going to somewhere with malaria soon, forgot to get one, and you would prefer doxycycline. (Iquitos, Peru fits this bill) Say you’re going for at least a month.

Alternatively, if you have a primary care, they will also usually write for this without too many questions. (Usually just calling you back after they verify the dosage as an antimalerial )

Edit: if you don’t have insurance, use something like GoodRx or just call around several pharmacies first to get a cash price before you have your doctor call it in.

When I needed it for travel, it would have been $100+ at CVS out of pocket, but was $13 (I think at Wegmans )
