Amazing Tips To Have A Healthy Holiday!

Summer vacation plans will soon be swinging into high gear. And with an increasing number of Indians travelling abroad, there’s no better time than now to make sure your next trip – whether it’s to the other side of the world or simply a stay at the beach – is a healthy one.

Manage Your Medications

If you will be travelling across time zones, ask your doctor about the best way to manage your medication schedule. Should you take your medicine at the usual time for your home time zone? Should you switch? If so, how?

Be sure to take enough of each medication with you, so you don’t have to worry about finding a pharmacy and filling a prescription on your trip.

Keep a copy of your prescriptions with you in case your medication is lost and you need a replacement.

Also, ask your doctor how your medications may react with the new foods you may eat on your trip.

Get It In Writing

Ask your doctor to write down any medical problems you have and how they are being treated.

Add the names (including generic names) and doses of any drugs you may be taking and how you take them (whether you need a syringe and needle, for example). If you are travelling abroad, this will make your trip through customs much smoother. It will also make getting replacement medications easier if you lose any. Make a copy of the list – keep one in your suitcase and another with you at all times.

If you’re travelling by airplane, place all medications in your carryon instead of your checked luggage, to prevent them from being lost or stolen.

Keep your medications in their original containers while travelling.
