Moda: Local Notes for Diarrhea
A night out in Moda often ends with dehydration, a sore throat or a twisted ankle by morning. Close by are Bagdat Caddesi, Cihangir, Sirkeci, which share the same medical services. Late nights, alcohol and little sleep can make many conditions harder to shake, so rest, drink water and tell the doctor what you have been drinking and taking.
