Forgot medication abroad? Your next steps
Practical steps when you forget or lose prescribed medicine while travelling.
Check what you need
Keep a photograph of the original packaging and note the strength, formulation and usual treatment. Do not change doses or substitute medicines without professional advice.
Prepare for a medical review
Provide your existing prescription or medical report if available. Without a document, choose the preliminary consultation option in the request form. If interruption could be dangerous, seek local medical care promptly.
