Do you carry your prescription meds in their original containers or you you put them in the Mon-Sun pill box?

I leave them in the original containers but then I have to clear customs and you don't. It has never come up but you better believe the day I decided to not bring the original containers would be the day I had to prove what all the pills are! lol

Myst
 
Internal:
Advil tablets
Benadryl caplets
A fresh roll of Tums

External:
Hydrocortisone cream (bought at a very expensive price at the ASMu gift shop - never leaving home without it again)
Aloe vera gel
Neosporin plus antibiotic cream

Misc. Supplies:
Band-aids in assorted sizes (I usually buy a multi-pack and then transfer it to a Ziploc sandwich bag)
A couple of 2x2s
A half roll of fabric first aid tape
Anti-septic wipes
Moleskin
A small sewing kit
A lighter

I usually pack the Benadryl and Advil in these little clear plastic containers I get from REI for 25 cents each. I put enough for 2-3 days of both in each container and then throw one in my backpack or pocket. I can usually get a few days worth of pills in one container, but it only takes up about 1.5 inch of space.
 
These are what I usually take to the parks. I want to be able to easily treat a minor cut or rash and deal with tummy ache, headache or diarrhea.

pain reliever
decongestant
antibiotic ointment
hydrocortisone cream
bandaids
anti-chafe powder (Walmart often has very small "travel size" of these)
Imodium
Tums or similar med

If I needed something more "serious" I would make a trip to the park's medical facility.

I would note that several people's list include duplicative items -- e.g., several pain relievers, meds for indigestion, for allergies, etc. I don't know if different family members or illnesses might require that, or if folks don't realize that these are same/similar items........ :wave:
 

gonna sound odd, but after eating pop corn this weekend, I decided to bring dental floss, or those floss stick thingys! LOL
 
I don't tend to bring a lot in this area, especially since I generally don't travel with a very large group. My only "must haves" besides perscription medication is moleskin and hand santizer. They both are invaluable to me.

Since I started using moleskin pro-actively (covering the 3-4 spots I typically have issues with before I have issues) I never get blisters any more, and the hand-sanitizer is SOOOO nice to have in the parks. When I step off of a ride (like Buzz, where you have to touch the rayguns and such) it's nice to be able to squeeze a bit out and feel a bit fresher without having to find a restroom. I'm not really germ-phobic, but I do like to be smart about it. Little travel-sized bottles are less than $1 at Wal-Mart and Rite-Aid - and one or two of them lasts a whole trip (depending on how many people are with me).

N.E.D.
