Nhà Thuốc Tây

Supermarkets here don't have pharmacies in them, so if one gets sick, they can procure some medication via a Nhá Thuốc Tây - which literally translates to "House of Western Medicine". You come in, tell the pharmacist your problem, and they hand you a bag full of unmarked pills for roughly 10,000 đồng (about US$ 0.60).

After going home and checking the medicine on the web - it looks like they gave me pills for bacterial dysentery, anti-diarrheals, and a mystery medicine which I think is a live culture of Lactobacillus. He only gave me a days worth of medicine and I already feel better. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
