Do you know why you should talk to your pharmacist when
planning a vacation?
First of all, our pharmacists may need to order vaccines for
you to prevent diseases like hepatitis, typhoid or yellow fever. Keep in mind that some vaccines need to be given
at least 4 weeks prior to your travel in order for you to receive maximum
protection. To prevent travellers’ diarrhea and cholera, the oral vaccine (Dukoral)
should be started at least 2 weeks before you leave.
Secondly, if you are travelling for more than 3 months, your
drug insurance plan may not cover the full supply of the drugs that you will
need for your trip. Seniors and other patients covered under the Ontario Drug
Benefit (ODB) are also subjected to some restrictions in terms of vacation
drugs supply depending on the supply.
This is why you should talk to your pharmacist as early in
your vacation planning as possible. Our
pharmacists can help you plan out your re-fill schedule so that you can receive
the maximum travel supply of your medications. We will also help you fill out
the required documentation confirming your travel plan. At Custom Care Pharmacy, this service is of
no charge to you.
Last but not least, it is a good idea to pick up some
over-the-counter medications for fever, motion sickness, nausea or vomiting and
diarrhea.
