Altitude, Elevation, and Motion Sickness

If you’re traveling to high elevations, it’s important to recognize altitude sickness symptoms, also referred to as elevation sickness symptoms, altitude illness symptoms, or altitude mountain sickness symptoms. Early signs may include headache, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue, collectively known as AMS sickness symptoms or height sickness symptoms. If left untreated, altitude illness can progress and interfere with your travel plans. Our providers can recommend evidence-based strategies for prevention and treatment, including how long altitude sickness typically lasts and how to reduce its severity.

For those heading on fishing trips, whether in the mountains for trout or on the ocean for deep sea fish like croaker fish, we also offer motion sickness pills tailored to your needs and activity level.

How We Help Travelers Stay Well

Our clinic offers comprehensive care for those preparing to travel, with a focus on preventing and managing common conditions that can disrupt your plans. Whether you're embarking on a long-haul flight, setting sail on a cruise, or heading to a high-altitude destination, we provide personalized recommendations and prescriptions to keep you well during your journey. This includes motion sickness medication for flights, car rides, or boat travel, as well as both antihistamine for motion sickness and antihistamine for travel sickness for those who are particularly sensitive to motion. For travelers visiting regions where mosquito-borne illness is a concern, we prescribe malaria travel medicine tailored to your itinerary. Digestive concerns are also common, which is why we offer both travelers diarrhea medicine over the counter and prescription-based options, including travelers diarrhea Imodium for symptom relief and antibiotics for travelers diarrhea when clinically appropriate. We also support patients with altitude sickness prevention, offering guidance and medication to minimize the risk of discomfort or more serious complications. In addition, we advise on flying with medication and flying with medicine, ensuring you understand how to label, store, and declare your prescriptions, an essential step for smooth passage through airport security and customs.

Essential Travel Medications for Your Trip

When traveling, whether across time zones, into remote regions, or to high-altitude destinations, it’s important to pack more than just your passport. Our clinic provides access to essential prescription and over-the-counter medications to help you stay healthy and comfortable throughout your journey. For those prone to nausea or dizziness, we may recommend meclizine, scopolamine patches, or dimenhydrinate, which are commonly used motion sickness medications. If you're seeking an antihistamine for motion sickness or antihistamine for travel sickness, options like promethazine or diphenhydramine may be appropriate. For high-altitude destinations, we often prescribe acetazolamide, a well-established medication for preventing and managing altitude sickness symptoms, also known as AMS sickness symptoms or altitude illness symptoms.

If you’re visiting areas where malaria travel medicine is necessary, your doctor may recommend atovaquone-proguanil (Malarone), doxycycline, or chloroquine, depending on your location and risk factors. To prevent or treat travelers’ diarrhea, we can suggest loperamide (Imodium) for symptom control, azithromycin or ciprofloxacin as antibiotics for travelers diarrhea, and over-the-counter options like bismuth subsalicylate. For added protection, we’ll also provide guidance on flying with medication, including how to travel with labeled prescriptions, manage traveling with medicine through customs, and what to know when travelling overseas with medication or during international travel with medications.

Safe Medication Use During International Travel

International travel with medications can be confusing, especially when visiting countries with strict customs regulations. Our team helps you prepare by reviewing which medications are permitted, how to pack them safely, and how to plan for travelling overseas with medication. If needed, we’ll provide the proper documentation for your travel prescription to help prevent delays or confiscation at the border. We also advise on flying with medication, including best practices for storing, labeling, and declaring prescriptions during airport screening and customs clearance.

Running Low on Medication While Traveling?

Unexpected delays or extended stays can quickly turn into a problem if you run out of your regular medication while away from home. Whether you're visiting from out of state or traveling internationally, our clinic can help you stay on track. We offer travel prescription support and online prescription refill appointments, making it easier for travelers to access the medications they need, even while on the move. It’s always wise to be proactive when preparing for a trip. If you're currently taking prescription medication, pack enough to last for the full duration of your travel, plus a few extra days to account for unexpected delays. For those planning international travel with medications, it’s best to keep all prescriptions in their original labeled containers and stored in your carry-on luggage. We also advise carrying a printed copy of your travel prescription, in case customs officials or airport staff request verification.

If you find yourself traveling abroad with medication and realize you're running low or if your luggage is lost and you need a prescription refill, we can help. Our board-certified nurse practitioners offer virtual evaluations and, when appropriate, can send a prescription to a local pharmacy near your current location. Whether you're flying with medication, experiencing a delay, or simply forgot to pack a refill, we’re here to support your health wherever your trip takes you.
