1. Be prepared for summer travel with your regular medications. When planning for trips, request extra medication if needed so you don’t run out while away from home. Be sure to keep medications in their original packaging, with your name on them, any time you carry them while traveling, and keep all prescription medications in your carry-on luggage to prevent the risk of losing them. If your medications are usually refrigerated, make sure to store them with adequate cooling measures when traveling between available refrigeration.
