For medicinal purposes

Here is Zara very happily carrying a basket of drugs prescribed after a quick trip to the local doc.  The kids arrived with the tail end of a cold and it wasn't getting any better a week or so after landing in Shanghai - so they got to pop some Chinese-made antibiotics, plus some antihistamines to help them adjust to the air here.  The big scarey internet says that China is breeding antibiotic-resistant superbugs as a result of over-prescribing medications (http://shanghaiist.com/2010/02/08/chinas_superbugs_threaten_global_he.php).
