Traveling, when you are old or on medication, can be more trouble than it is worth. If you are still keen on traveling despite your age or need for medications, here are some tips:
1. Discuss your travel plans with your doctor.
Inform your doctor of your travel plans so he can advise you on matters pertinent to your health and travel plans. The climates, activities, and even the local food of the place you are visiting can have significant impact on your health.
2. Make a medication calendar.
Jot down your medication schedules on a calendar. This way, instead of a being a hassle, your medications become a part of your daily schedule. Invest in pillboxes and label each with a date corresponding to your travel schedule.
3. Get prescription refills before setting out.
Visit your local pharmacy or your doctor to get a refill of your prescription medications prior to traveling. This is especially important if you are using a medication that is not common or popular. Obtain a duplicate prescription from your doctor so you can get your medications from another place.
