It is always necessary not to forget preparing a first-aid kit with sanitary material, where you are going to include basic medicines to treat the common aches and pains, articles for first-aid and special sanitary products what the traveler could personally need (in sufficient amount for covering all the necessities during the trip). It is always important to have a first-aid kit but it is extremely important to have one in those countries where it is difficult to find and buy certain medicines.
The medicines that need medical prescription must be accompanied with a letter or prescription , informing that the traveler needs that medicine for his personal treatment according to a diagnosis.
It is important to remember that there are certain things in the first-aid kit that can provoke problems if they are carried in the carry-on without a medical prescription, for instance the hypodermic needles.
