Travel Health

Traveling abroad exposes you to different environments and health risks. Being prepared with the correct medications and vaccinations is essential for ensuring your trip is safe and enjoyable. From malaria prevention to managing traveler's diarrhea, professional travel health care is a vital part of your itinerary.

Key Travel Health Risks

• Malaria: A serious disease spread by mosquitoes; prevent with Malarone or Doxycycline.
• Traveler's Diarrhea: Often caused by eating contaminated food or water; manage with rehydration salts and clinical treatments like Azithromycin.
• Motion Sickness: Nausea and dizziness from travel; prevent with Kwells or Avomine.
• Altitude Sickness: Breathlessness and headaches at high altitudes; manage with Acetazolamide.

Preparing for Your Trip

• Research Your Destination: Check the specific health requirements for the countries you are visiting well in advance.
• Bite Prevention: Use high-strength (DEET) insect repellent and wear protective clothing to prevent mosquito-borne illnesses.
• Food and Water Safety: Only drink bottled or treated water and avoid raw or undercooked foods in high-risk areas.
• Travel First Aid Kit: Carry essential items like antiseptic, sterile dressings, and rehydration sachets.
