National > Travel > Medical Concerns:

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.
