Medicine

☑ Pill Organiser

A pill organizer is a game-changer for travel! Instead of carrying multiple bottles, you can neatly sort medications, vitamins, or supplements into one compact case, saving space in your bag. It also helps you stay on track with your routine, making it easy to remember what to take and when. Whether you're traveling for a week or a month, having everything organized and accessible means less hassle and more time to enjoy your trip!

☑ Hay Fever Tablets

If you suffer from hay fever, definitely pack antihistamine tablets! You never know when pollen, dust, or unfamiliar allergens will trigger symptoms, and the last thing you want is a runny nose, itchy eyes, or sneezing ruining your trip. While you can usually find allergy meds abroad, it’s much easier (and often cheaper) to bring a trusted brand that works for you. They take up little space and can be a lifesaver, especially in new environments where allergens are unpredictable!

☑ Magnesium Tablets

Pack magnesium tablets for your trip—they’re a small but mighty travel essential. Magnesium helps with muscle recovery after long travel days, supports better sleep (especially if jet lag hits), and can ease stress and tension. I found them especially helpful for better sleep and took 2 before bed each night. Unlike bulky supplements, they don’t take up much space and can make a big difference in how you feel on the road. Definitely worth bringing along!

☑ Charcoal Tablets

Pack charcoal tablets for your trip—they’re a lifesaver if you end up with an upset stomach or mild food poisoning. I found them especially useful to take before sleep after a night of drinking to soak up some alcohol. Better to be prepared than scrambling for a pharmacy mid-trip!

☑ Sealegs

If you’re prone to seasickness, definitely pack Sealegs! These little capsules can be a lifesaver when you're on a boat, cruise, or any water-based adventure. I brought them along on my trip, and they made a huge difference, keeping nausea at bay even when the waves were rough. They’re easy to pack, take up hardly any space, and can really help you enjoy your time on the water without feeling miserable. For anyone who gets motion sickness, Sealegs are a must-have in your travel bag!

☑ Imodium 

Definitely pack Imodium for your trip! You never know when an upset stomach or travel-related digestive issues might strike, and having it on hand can save you from an uncomfortable situation. Whether it’s your travel diet, dirty water, or just the stress of travel, Imodium can quickly relieve symptoms and get you back on track. It’s compact, easy to carry, and worth the peace of mind knowing you're prepared for any unexpected stomach troubles. Trust me, you’ll be glad you brought it!

☑ Panadol 

Pack Panadol (or any pain relief you prefer) when travelling. It's a small, lightweight item that can be a lifesaver for headaches, aches, or unexpected pains during your trip. Instead of scrambling to find a pharmacy in a foreign country or dealing with unfamiliar medications, having Panadol on hand gives you peace of mind. It’s easy to carry, and you’ll be glad to have it for those moments when you just need quick relief to keep enjoying your travels.

☑ Prescription Medicine

Always bring your prescription medicine when travelling! Whether it’s something you rely on daily or something you might need in case of an emergency, having it on hand can save you stress and prevent any disruptions to your trip. Not all destinations have easy access to the medications you might need, and the last thing you want is to deal with the hassle of finding a pharmacy abroad. Plus, carrying it with you ensures you're prepared for any health issues that might arise. Make sure to pack enough for your entire trip and keep it in its original packaging, just in case!

☑ Antibiotics 

Bringing antibiotics on your travels can be a smart move, especially if you're heading to destinations where access to healthcare might be limited or where you’re at higher risk of certain infections. Having a small supply of broad-spectrum antibiotics can be a lifesaver if you suddenly find yourself dealing with an infection and can’t get to a pharmacy quickly. Just make sure to pack them in their original packaging and check with your doctor beforehand to ensure you have the right type for your destination. Better safe than sorry!

☒ Rescue Remedy Spray

I packed Rescue Remedy spray thinking it would help with travel stress, but I never reached for it once. Instead of carrying something you might not use, focus on simple, natural ways to stay calm—you won’t miss it!

☒ Vitamins

Don’t bother packing a stash of vitamins for your trip—they take up unnecessary space in a pill organizer, and if you really need them, you can easily buy more overseas. I brought mine and quickly realized they weren’t worth the hassle. Most destinations have pharmacies or health stores where you can find what you need, so save the room in your bag for something more essential!

☒ Travel Protection Lozenges 

Skip the travel protection lozenges—I packed them, but they just took up space, and I was usually too busy to remember to take them. When travelling, you’re often on the go, and prioritizing rest, hydration, and a balanced diet is a more practical way to stay healthy. If you really need them, you can always pick some up along the way, so save the space in your bag for something you’ll actually use!

☒ Electrolyte Tablets  

Don’t bother packing electrolyte tablets—I brought them and never used them. They took up space, and I found that simply drinking plenty of water kept me hydrated just fine. Unless you’re doing intense physical activity or dealing with extreme heat, regular water is usually enough. If you do end up needing electrolytes, you can easily find sports drinks or alternatives wherever you are, so save the space in your bag!
