Travel Medical Supply List
Everyone needs a Travel Medical Supply List. When you are going abroad, some medicines are available at the local pharmacies, and some travel locations don’t have drugstores. Some meds are black-market drugs, and you won’t want to buy them from the local drug store when you are traveling. My advice is to see your doctor and ask for the medicines that you can take, be careful. Don’t take any drugs you are allergic to, or you will get sick. Your prescription drugs bring from home. Take enough to last the whole trip. Here is a Medical Check List – Travel Medications I take when traveling alone, traveling aboard or while I am traveling on holiday or vacation. Remember – always check with your doctor.
