Beyond taking medication routinely in the days leading up to your trip, you'll need to make sure you bring enough for the duration of your vacation — and pack it correctly. And if you take medication that needs to be refrigerated, verify that your hotel room has a fridge so your medicine doesn't go bad once you arrive. Many hotels are happy to keep your medication in their refrigerator – you just have to ask the hotel's staff. If you're taking any prescriptions, make sure you store them correctly while away from home. If a refrigerated medication isn't kept cold, it could affect how potent it is — and that could negatively affect your health.
