Travel to Poland: How to pack the perfect travel pharmacy!

The summer vacation is just around the corner and many families are planning their trips to distant countries or beautiful regions. So also a 43-year-old customer from Cologne who wants to travel to the Masurian Lake District in Poland with her family, consisting of two children and her mother in the 70s. During a visit to her pharmacy, she wants to make sure that her travel pharmacy is well equipped. Prisma reports on the valuable advice of the pharmacist, who recommends that the first-aid kit is careful to be equipped for all eventualities.

The pharmacist brings her expertise by pointing out the customer that the travel pharmacy not only encompasses prescription drugs that are being taken regularly, but also against travel typical diseases, such as travel dumps. In view of the fact that the family will travel to a sparsely populated region without many pharmacies and the customer does not speak Polish, comprehensive preparation is all the more important.

checklist for the travel pharmacy

What belongs in a well -equipped travel pharmacy? The pharmacist listed the necessary content that should definitely be there for the vacation. These include:

• bandage materials: elastic binding, gauze bandages, plasters and sterile wound compresses
• drugs for diarrhea, nausea and vomiting
• fever and painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen
• decongestant nasal spray or nasal drops
• cough juice and anti-allergic
• oils and lotions for insect protection as well as sunscreen with at least LSF 30

In addition to medication, aids such as tweezers, disinfectants, first aid instructions and special electrolyte preparations are recommended for the children. The customer should make sure that more tablets for her mother than she could need to be prepared for possible extensions or delays.

special precautions in children

When traveling with children, a special first aid kit is advisable to best protect the little travelers from possible diseases. ADAC emphasizes that parents should be particularly prepared for clinical pictures such as travel sickness-symptoms such as fatigue and nausea can occur in children between two and twelve years.

The pharmacist advises parents to transport all medication in the original packaging and pay attention to the correct storage. In addition, the vaccination status should be checked before the start of the trip, especially when traveling to countries with specific health risks.

Before you break up, consider whether all the necessary medication is available and are up to date and whether the package insert in German is available. Here an age recommendation for medication can be of great help-especially when traveling with (small) children. A checklist for documenting the required medicines facilitates preparation and brings security when traveling.

With a well -thought -out travel pharmacy that is adapted to the individual needs of the family, nothing stands in the way of a relaxed family vacation on the Masurian Lake District. Use these tips and experience a carefree time in nature! Further information on the correct compilation of a travel pharmacy can be found on Shop-Apotheke .
