01Check your medicines early
Look at how many doses you will need for the trip, plus a small buffer in case of delays. If you use repeats, request them with enough time for ordering and checks.
If you have recently changed dose, make sure the pack you take matches the directions you are following now.
Pack with common sense
These are the most common issues we see when people pack in a hurry.
- Keep medicines in original packaging with the label attached
- Split supplies across bags if you are travelling with hold luggage
- Bring a copy of your repeat list if you have one
- Check storage needs, some items do not tolerate heat
- Carry a small supply of basic pain relief and plasters
