Don’t carry your entire bottle of prescription medication with you. Go to a craft supply store and buy small baggies or the snack size ziplocks from the grocery store and put the required number of dosages plus 3… just incase you miss a flight or get delayed a day or so. Photo copy the prescription label and insert into the baggie. Then make a list of all medications including the dosage and strength. Keep this list in a safe place incase you need to replace medication while traveling, or are traveling to a country that can duplicate the medication without a prescription and is cheaper to obtain. I know people who travel to Mexico on a regular basis to stock up on antibiotics and claim to save hundreds of dollars a year. Another time saver: package pills by day/doses. Say you take 2 medications and a multi every morning put all in a baggie and label AM. If you have afternoon, dinner or bedtime dosages label the baggies so it makes sense to you. I use AM (upon waking), N (afternoon), D (dinner time) and PM (bedtime).
