I believe the correct spelling is Dukoral.
This medicine does not appear to be available in the United States. It is a vaccine against cholera and traveler's diarrhea.
This vaccine contains a mixture of inactivated Vibrio cholerae bacteria (the bacteria that cause cholera) and a non-toxic component of the toxin that these bacteria produce. It works by stimulating the body's immune response to the cholera bacteria, without actually causing the disease [1].
Hope this helps. Do you have any other questions or information to add? Please post back if you do...
