Holidays Pharmacy

Everything is ready, suitcases, swimsuits , pants , underwear. and mood for vacation. Summer vacations come once a year and are sacred, but did we forget something? And of course! The vacation pharmacy. An essential accessory to be found on the beach and not on deserted cobblestone streets looking for clinics and doctors with stomach aches at 2 in the morning. So it would be a good idea to leave room in your suitcase for a complete vacation pharmacy.
A mini pharmacy should definitely be included in your travel essentials. And it should definitely contain:
-
Simple bandages
-
Gauzes
-
Disposable gloves
-
Oxygen for cleaning wounds
-
Iodine solution for disinfection
-
Thermometer, antipyretic, painkiller
-
Ammonia ointment, spray or stick for bites
-
Antipyretics and analgesics
-
A cream with panthenol
-
Antacids for your stomach
-
Moisturizing ointment
-
Normal saline
-
Anti-nausea medication (Dramamine)
-
Cortisone injection, for allergic people
-
For mild local allergies, a corticosteroid ointment should be available.
Finally, if someone suffers from a chronic illness, it is imperative that they have with them the appropriate medications prescribed by their treating physician.
The pharmacy should:
-
Be installed away from heating sources (e.g. radiators)
-
It should be in a cool place, where there will not be much humidity (the bathroom, for example, is probably not the best choice)
-
If there are small children in the house or rental space, we must block their access to it.
-
On the inside surface of the door, it's a good idea to have a list of the various items that our pharmacy contains.
Luck is an abstract concept that you can't rely on. On the contrary, a vacation first aid kit is something tangible, which will come in handy in emergencies and save your vacation from disaster. Organize it with the basics and... have a good trip.
