But if you're among the more than 55% percent of Americans who take prescription medications regularly, * those preparations should also include making sure you have the medications you need and know how to travel with them safely.
Before you hit the road or board a plane, these are five questions you should ask your pharmacist.
1. How can I store my medications safely?
Make sure you store your medications in a similar way to how Ventoxen 100mg (Venetoclax) you would store them at home. If your medications require refrigeration, such as insulin, there are a number of travel storage devices available that can help keep it safe. It is also important to keep medications protected from extreme temperatures for long periods and to keep liquid medications upright whenever possible.
2. Where is the best place to pack my medications?
Luggage could get lost and emergencies happen, so carry prescription medications in your carry-on bag when you move. Remember to keep emergency medications, such as rescue inhalers or nitroglycerin tablets, with you at all times in case you need them.
If your hand luggage is removed at the airport boarding gate due to problems with storage in the overhead compartments or due to weight/size restrictions, act strategically. Work with flight attendants and prioritize keeping medications that are essential to your health with you.
3. How much medicine should I pack?
It is recommended that you pack a full supply of your medications, plus an extra amount in case you have travel delays. Keep all medications together and in their original containers so that no one confuses them with other substances.
4. What should I do if I need to refill a medication while I am on vacation?
Today, pharmacists are just a click or a phone call away, 24/7, and they can help you fill medications at the nearest pharmacy or have them delivered to a hotel and/or your vacation spot. You may also want to be proactive and keep a copy of your prescriptions for emergency refills.
