It’s summer-time. For many of us, that also means vacation time. Make the travel easy. As you plan your travel adventures, don’t forget that your medications may have to come along on the trip. It’s important to plan for that, too.
Review this list of travel tips before you pack:
- Make sure to have enough
medication on hand for your entire trip.
- Get any medication refills
before you leave.
- Learn about exceptions that
airports may make for medically necessary liquids, medications and creams.
Refer to Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security screening
requirements for medications at https://www.tsa.gov/travel/special-procedures.
- Don’t worry about lost luggage.
If you must pack your prescription medicines in checked luggage, remember
to keep an allowable amount of your medications with you.
- Bring or pack your pharmacy ID
card.
