What should I do about prescription drugs?
- Make sure you have enough medication to last the entire trip, plus a few days.
- Keep a small amount in your backpack, and leave the rest in your suitcase. Keeping them split up will help in case something gets lost or left behind in a hotel.
- If you have several prescriptions, keep them in separate, clearly labeled containers so they won’t get mixed up.
- Make sure you have a written copy of the prescription in case of an emergency and you need to refill it on tour. Be aware that it may not be possible to refill it, as some pharmacies may not accept American prescriptions, or they may not carry the medication in Europe. But if you have it, it can help a pharmacist get a similar medication for you.
- Make sure you have complete info about your prescription on the medical form.
