  • Medicines you take on a regular basis at home. Take enough medicine for the planned trip plus extra in case your return home is delayed.
  • Carry all medicine in their original containers with clear labels that identify your name and dosing schedule.
  • If you have a chronic condition, such as diabetes, seizures, or allergies, consider wearing a medical alert bracelet.
  • Acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or aspirin to relieve headaches, pain, fever, and simple sprains or strains
  • Anti-nausea or motion sickness medicine. You may also want to include medicine for altitude sickness if traveling to high altitudes.

Common Questions about Traveling

Are you carrying the right medications for your trip?

Before traveling, ensure you have all essential medications packed—especially your chronic medications including rescue inhaler and nebulizer with the correct outlet converters, (preferably a battery operated one too) an epi pen if you have severe food or environmental allergies, your glucose monitor especially if you are on insulin or extra sensors. Bring enough daily medications for the entire trip, have a plan of care in case something goes wrong. Keep your medications in their original packaging with a doctor’s note. Tip: Pack your inhaler, nitroglycerin, epi pen in your carry-on and keep it accessible at all times.

Tip: Write down "why you take it" and keep it visible daily
