An Ounce of Prevention

If you are taking medication, always carry more than you think you'll need when you travel. You never know when a flight delay or weather conditions may cause your 10-day trip to become a 12-day one. Hurricanes or even snow storms can strand travelers for days. Be prepared. Always carry your medications in their original containers. And, carry a list of your medications, including the strength (example: 100 mg. Imitrex), in a separate location. If you lose your medication, you can better communicate with foreign medical personnel about your needs if you have a list readily available.
