Travel Medicines to Carry on Vacations and Road Trips 

Stay healthy while on the road with travel medicines. These small packs fit easily in handbags and luggage, so you can take them just about anywhere. 

Travel Medicine Essentials

Fun as vacations are, they require lots of planning, especially if you'll be gone for several days or weeks. Your travel medicines shoud be part of this planning. While it's usually not too difficult to find medications for common ailments, such as migraines or hay fever, wherever your travels take you, it's always better to have what you need in advance. Some medicines you might want to bring with you while traveling include: 

• Pain relievers 

• Allergy medicines 

• Anti-diarrhea medicines 

• Heartburn relievers 

If you're taking any prescription medicines, ensure your supply will last your entire trip. Always keep these medicines in their original containers with the doctor's labeling intact, and bring your prescription and any necessary supporting documentation, such as a letter from your physician.  

Different rules apply to domestic and international travel, and it's best to check what you can take with you in advance. If you're unsure, ask your doctor, pharmacist, airline customer service or the TSA. 

Build Your Travel Medicine Kit

Create a travel medicine kit to keep track of everything you need for health and well-being while on vacation. Start by thinking about the everyday conditions you may need to manage, such as heartburn or allergies. While some OTC medicines for these ailments are available in smaller packs, you can also typically transfer medicine into travel-size storage containers if you're not flying abroad. 

Besides medicines, pack a few essential first-aid supplies, such as bandages and antiseptic ointment. Look for travel-size personal care products in case your favorite shampoo or moisturizer isn't available at your destination.  

Cosmetics often come in smaller, easier-to-carry packages, but switching to travel-size beauty products might be a better option. That way, you don't have to worry about losing expensive makeup or damaging it during transit. 

Carry-On Medication Essentials

 Just because a certain product is available as a travel-size medicine doesn't mean bringing it on international flights or in your carry-on luggage is okay, as some OTC medications aren't legal everywhere. Always check the regulations that apply to your destination first.

When bringing allowed carry-on medications, consider getting a prescription, even for OTC medicines, to justify your use. Keep products in their original packaging to streamline the security check, and be mindful of liquid restrictions. However, the 100ml liquid limit generally doesn't apply to medically necessary items, provided you declare them.
