The medicines with you
When I have an intention to travel, I feel pity for the only thing – I can not take my doctor packed into my large suitcase. Anyway, it is allowed to take some medicines with you. They are allergy and diarrhea medicines, insulin, inhalators, vitamins, lenses cleaners, analgesics and similar. It happens that oversees a person develop some allergic reactions even if he/she has never experienced them before. It is connected with the new and strange environment, unusual life conditions, time zone changes, new nourishment traditions and so on. Especially you are to be careful if you know you're your weak points, everything is possible. So, a small box with a few medicines is not a waste of your place, but it could be much needed in the case of emergency. Also you should remember that it could be very hard to find such medicines abroad or the foreign medicines could be different from the native ones. It is doubtful that you would like to waste a part of your tourist tour for the needed drugs search. It is worthy taking some analgesics or allergy medicines during the long bus tours (for example, in Egypt while you are leading to the pyramids).
If you have the prescriptions from your doctor, take the originals or the copies with you. Who knows, perhaps, they will be asked at the airport. If your medicines include drugs, be sure that the prescriptions are with you. If you are not sure about allowance of some medicines while you are leaving your country for the tourist trip, consult at the travel agency or the consulate.
So, it is easy to plan a safe trip if you are really aware of what you have to do for that.
