Suggestions for OTC (over the counter ) meds to take

[Ozarkglittergirl]

The subject line pretty much sums it up, which OTC meds are a must have on board. Such as, band aids , Motrin, hydrocortisone crm, Sea Safe lotion, Dramamine for kids, Meclizine for Nana ...I honestly did try to look this up but couldn't find any info

 

[cedricandsophie]

I don't know if any is a must because I have never used them but I always take a baggie of band aids, Motrin or Aleve, antibiotic cream and bug spray.

 

[Ozarkglittergirl]

Bug spray, see you helped! Check or carry on during flight? I know it can't be aerosol. Already feel like I'm doing carry on for so many things! Would hate to have that nasty stuff all over my clothing...what to do

 

[FigmentSpark]

Checked - in a ziplock bag... or two.

Another biggie - Imodium
Sunburn relief spray (costs a fortune on the ship)

Most OTC stuff I put in checked bags, unless it something that I MIGHT need during the trip (ibuprofen/acetaminophen/etc)

 

[Feisty Fairy]

Imodium and tums. Sunblock, aloe and bug spray.

 

[hanscarlet]

we always bring bonine/mezclinine not thinking we'll have to use it and we used it this time and we had to buy dramamine for the kids on the boat... bandaids, ibuprofen, sambucol (immune system booster), neosporin (good for chafing, sores)

 

[DHSbutcher]

In my toiletries bag I bring:
Q Tips
Bandaids of various sizes
Tweezers
Nail Clippers
Small Scissors
Gold Bond Friction Defense stick to prevent chafing- this stuff is a godsend!! Apply generously before going out anywhere/anytime you might sweat and you'll have no problems.
Advil- a decent size bottle- one cold/flu can easily deplete me of my stock if not
Behind-the-Counter Sudafed- the strong stuff you have to sign for.
Nose spray incase I come down with a cold
Inhaler incase of breathing troubles
Back scratcher
Children's Gel benedryl/anti-itch stuff. Great for bug bites/sunburn
Sunscreen- lotion, spray, and a face-stick
Extra Hair Ties
Floss
Shower Stuff
Teeth Stuff
Razor

All of this I bring with me- whats helpful to me may not be helpful to you, but perhaps it may inspire some ideas

I usually pack ibprofen, imodium, pseudoephedrine, generic Benedryl, bandaids, and antacids.

I decided I didn't need to consult my packing list last time and forgot to pack the Benedryl and antacids. We were staying at the Hyatt MCO the night before the cruise and I ended up picking up some Benedryl there at highly inflated prices because DD woke up thinking she was coming down with a cold and Benedryl is the only thing that helps her get a good nights sleep when she's sick. Turns out it was just allergies which improved once we were on the ship. I learned my lesson and will consult my packing list next time.

If you have children under 12, don't forget the children's tylenol/advil, as well. Maybe throw a thermometer in there, to check for fevers... just in case.

Anyone bring handiwipes/lysol wipes for surfaces?

 

[MSPeeler]

What kind of things do they have on board at the clinic? Does it cost extra to visit the clinic?

These lists are very helpful, Thank You!

If you happen to be staying at a WDW resort hotel before your trip, you can send questionable items ahead in a box that you can ship to the hotel OR if you have a chance once you land, you can pick up items you might need at Publix. Cheers!

Anyone bring handiwipes/lysol wipes for surfaces?

Yes. Always bring Lysol wipes. However, I recently was reading that the Lysol wipes do not impact Noro. There is another product, not readily available in stores, that some people use instead (or in addition to) the Lysol wipes. Anyone know what this product is?

 

[Ozarkglittergirl]

I googled it, Clorox Hydrogen Peroxide or Clorox Healthcare Bleach wipes for Norovirus

 

[lorimay]

I am a stomach issue girl sadly, Tums, acid pills, lactaid and GasX, they have a strip that melts on your tongue, works very well.
I bring lysol wherever we go and spray everything down, especially the remote and light switch plates.
