If you keep any prescription medication in your purse, briefcase, or carry-on luggage, make sure you also carry a copy of your latest prescription with it. In case of a medical emergency, traffic stop, or security checkpoint, this information could prove vital to your health and personal freedom.
A simple solution: Keep your medication in its prescription bottle. However, if you take 3 or more medications, this might prove too bulky. In that case, follow these steps:
1. Remove the customer copy of each script from your pharmacy receipt. This may be a small, perforated section of the script that's no larger than a ticket stub.
2. Make sure that the following information is listed correctly: your name, the drug's name and prescription number, the doc's name, the dosage, and the date you picked up your medicifrom the pharmacy.
3. Place this information in a zippered snack bag and then store it with your medication in your purse, briefcase, etc.
4. Repeat this procedure each time you pick up a refill from the pharmacy.
Wishing you good health and safe travels.
