  • prochlorperazine or metoclopramide for nausea and vomiting
  • rehydration mixtureto prevent dehydration, which may occur, for example, during bouts of diarrhoea; particularly important when travelling with children
  • insect repellent, sunscreen, lip balm and eye drops

  • antifungal cream or powder for fungal skin infections and thrush
  • antiseptic (such as povidone-iodine) for cuts and grazes

Medical checklist

Following is a list of items you should consider including in your medical kit – consult your pharmacist for brands available in your country.

  • aspirin or paracetamol (acetaminophen in the USA) for pain or fever
  • antihistamine for allergies, eg hay fever; to ease the itch from insect bites or stings; and to prevent motion sickness
  • cold and flu tablets, throat lozenges and nasal decongestant
  • multivitamins for long trips, when dietary vitamin intake may be inadequate
  • antibiotics, particularly if you’re travelling well off the beaten track; see your doctor, as antibiotics must be prescribed, and carry the prescription with you
  • anti-inflammatory (ibuprofen) for muscle and joint overuse and pain; also for headache and fever
  • loperamide or diphenoxylate ‘blockers’ for diarrhoea

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU!
