What can I do if the country I am traveling to has a problem with
the medicine I need?
You
should carry a copy of your prescription for your medicine that
lists both the generic and trade names of the drug, as well as a
letter from your doctor that states the medical reasons for your
prescription and the recommended dosage. Keep all of your medicines
in their original, labeled container, don't mix them up to try and
save space. The travel medical clinics we mentioned in the last
question can give you additional advice about what to do.
