What medical kits should I carry? Print E-mail

Never leave home without a medical kit. Our lightweight, compact, cost- effective medical kits will be personalised for you, with proper instructions, a 'flow chart' guide  and a customs letter.

Please note that some ' tummy bugs' in certain areas of the world are resistant to commonly prescribed antibiotics in New Zealand ie. you have to have an understanding of worldwide gastrointestinal micro-organism resistance patterns to prescribe appropriately.

Consider carrying your regular essential medications in two lots in separate suitcases.

You should purchase your medication before travel. Drugs purchased overseas may not be manufactured according to New Zealand standards and may not be effective. They also may be dangerous, contain counterfeit medications or contaminants, or be combinations of drugs that are not safe to use.

If you are not one of our regular travellers and only require a medical kit, then please book a 'medical kit appointment'  - $35 . Our regular travellers can  ' top up'  any items in the medical kit  (our travel doctor must have seen you in the last 2 years) .
