Remember your medication

I hope so.

I'm not allowed to order before meds are due (not that I'm going anywhere)

Hopefully when you are feeling better, you will. My GP is happy enough to let me order things in advance if I am going away and over time I have managed to build a small stock so I feel confident that I won't run out over holiday periods etc.

My older brother left his case on the train when he came to visit us in Tuscany. Fortunately we now the owner of the resort where we stay every year, and she contacted the local pharmacy to explain what had happened and that we can be trusted- and his medications were ready the next day.

Careful with opiates though- they may even be a problem at customs in some countries, so you'd better have your prescription with you

We take twice the amount of DH’s medication as he should need, plus the prescriptions, like GrannyGravy13, and I carry half of it in case one bag gets lost or left on a train.

Also, always keep medication in your hand luggage and not hold baggage. That way, it won't go missing and you be left without it.

There is a timely warning on the news this morning about certain meds not being acceptable in some countries.
As this includes antihistamines, a regularly used med, it is very wise to check just what you are allowed as well as the good advice by the OP to take extra, if your surgery will let you order them in advance!!

I always take double the amount needed along with a prescription of all my medication, you never know what will happen.

Some countries require a letter from your GP for certain drugs, particularly opioids.
