Pack Your Pills

If you are taking prescription medicine you probably wouldn't forget to add it to your international travel checklist. However, you should also pack any over-the-counter stuff you take too.

Side effects could be different. So rather than risk a bad reaction it's probably best to bring what you know makes you feel better.
