Minneapolis, Minnesota – Getting ready for a trip should be fun, right? You plan your outfits, make lists, and dream about your upcoming adventures. But if you take regular meds, packing can get a bit tricky. Here’s how to make it a breeze.
1. Refill Before You Go
Before you even start packing, make sure you have enough refills for your trip. Dr. Scott Kaiser from the Pacific Neuroscience Institute says it’s all about being prepared. Use checklists and set reminders to keep everything in order.
2. Carry-On is Key
Ever heard the horror stories of lost luggage? Don’t let your meds become a statistic. Always pack them in your carry-on.
3. Pack Extra Meds
It’s better to have too much than too little. Use a pill box to keep everything organized and pack a few extra days’ worth, just in case.
4. Know the TSA Rules
The TSA lets you bring medically necessary liquids and meds in your carry-on, even if they’re over 3.4 ounces. Just make sure they’re clearly labeled to make the screening process smoother.
5. Lost Meds? Don’t Panic!
If your meds go missing, file a lost baggage claim right away. If you’ve got refills, you can transfer your prescription to a local pharmacy. If not, you might need to visit an urgent care or call your insurance for an early refill authorization.
Remember, being prepared is your best friend when traveling with medication. Safe travels!
