PRINCE GEORGE – As summer vacation approaches, many of you are likely considering a trip in the upcoming months. Within just a few hours of setting off, it’s common to realize that you’ve left something important behind. In today’s To Your Health, we’ll explore what steps you can take if you find yourself without your prescription.

Summer has arrived, bringing with it vacation time for many of us. However, what should you do if you forget to pack your regular medication or run out of refills while on a trip?

Missing medication doses can lead to inadequate treatment and adverse health effects. For example, skipping blood pressure meds can cause high blood pressure, while missing antidepressants may lead to withdrawal symptoms. Consistency in medication is crucial. Pharmacists can assist if you’re on vacation and can’t access your prescriptions.

If you’re in another town in Canada and forgot your prescription, you can have your refills transferred to a local pharmacy. Pharmacists can also provide emergency refills to cover your medications temporarily.

It’s up to the pharmacist to decide on emergency supplies. Depending on your medication may be challenging, so having a good relationship with your local pharmacy is essential. Sharing your medication details and a bit about yourself can help them make informed decisions regarding refills.
