Travel Health Treatment FAQs

Can I get antimalarial medication prescribed online?

Yes, our doctors can prescribe antimalarial medications appropriate for your destination. They'll consider your health history and the specific malaria risk at your destination.

What medications should I bring when traveling?

Our doctors can help you build a travel medical kit including antibiotics for traveler's diarrhea, pain relievers, antihistamines, and any prescription medications you might need.

How far in advance should I get a travel consultation?

Ideally 4-6 weeks before travel, but we can help with shorter notice. Some medications like antimalarials need to be started before departure.

Do I need medication for altitude sickness?

If traveling above 2,500m (8,000ft), preventive medication like acetazolamide can help. Our doctors will assess your risk and provide appropriate prescriptions.

Can you provide documentation for my medications?

Yes, our doctors can provide letters explaining your prescriptions, which is helpful when traveling internationally with medications.
