A travel pharmacy can be very helpful for unexpected medical issues during your travels. Here are some recommendations for what should be included in a travel pharmacy:

  • Pain relievers: e.g., paracetamol or ibuprofen, to alleviate pain and reduce fever.
  • First aid supplies: e.g., adhesive plasters, sterile dressings, bandages, wound cleaning wipes, and medical adhesive for treating cuts, scrapes, and other injuries.
  • Motion sickness remedies: e.g., motion sickness tablets or chewing gum to reduce nausea and vomiting during travel.
  • Sunscreen: e.g., high SPF sunscreen and after-sun lotion for treating sunburn.
  • Insect repellent: e.g., insect repellent spray or cream to prevent insect bites.
  • Anti-diarrheal medications: e.g., loperamide to alleviate symptoms of diarrhea.
  • Antihistamines: to treat allergy symptoms such as itching, swelling, or rashes.
  • Nasal spray: e.g., decongestant nasal spray to treat congested nasal passages.
  • Disinfectant: e.g., alcohol wipes to remove germs and protect against infections.
  • Personal medications: If you take medications regularly, make sure you have enough for the duration of your trip.
