Properly Storing Medicine At Home
Not a problem! Make sure to write down the name and number of your doctor and/or pharmacist in case of an emergency. Always pack your medication in your carry-on so that there’s no chance of losing it on the way to your destination. Remember, things happen! Packing an extra day or two’s worth of medicine is also a good idea. Some medications require specific timing between dosage so, if you’re traveling far, make sure to set an alarm to guarantee you stay on track.
