Medication Tips for Seniors Traveling During the Holidays
Holiday travel is exciting, but it can also be stressful — especially when managing multiple medications. Staying organized and prepared ensures you can enjoy your trip safely and confidently.
1. Plan Ahead
Make a list of all medications, dosages, and schedules.
Bring enough for the entire trip, plus a few extra days in case of delays.
Check expiration dates and refill prescriptions if needed before you leave.
2. Pack Smart
Keep medications in their original labeled containers for clarity and safety.
Carry medications in your carry-on bag when flying, in case checked luggage is delayed.
Use a pill organizer for daily doses to simplify management.
3. Maintain Your Schedule
Time zone changes can affect when you take medications. Adjust your schedule carefully and ask your healthcare provider if you’re unsure.
Set alarms or reminders to stay consistent.
4. Keep Emergency Info Handy
Have a list of medications, allergies, and your doctor’s contact information with you.
Know where local pharmacies or urgent care centers are at your destination, just in case.
