Shop Travel Medicines online
Travel medicines are an essential part of any holiday preparation, helping you manage common discomforts that may arise when travelling. At Blooms The Chemist, we offer a wide range of travel medicines and travel sickness products, including options from Travacalm, Travelan and Flo, supporting you through long flights, unfamiliar foods, climate changes and motion-related symptoms.
What travel medicines should I pack for my holiday?
When preparing your travel medicine kit, consider packing a selection of products that address common travel discomforts. Motion sickness tablets such as Travacalm may be helpful for flights, boat travel or long drives. Products like Travelan may be relevant for travellers wanting gut-focused support when experiencing new cuisines. Pain relief, allergy relief, antiseptic wipes, blister care and basic first-aid items are also useful additions. If you regularly use probiotics, travel-friendly formulations may also be worth considering as part of your routine while away.
How do I manage travel sickness effectively?
Travel sickness can make journeys uncomfortable, but several options may help manage symptoms. Medications such as Travacalm are commonly used to support relief from nausea associated with motion. Non-medicated options, like wristbands that apply acupressure, may also be beneficial. For travellers who experience nasal congestion or pressure during take-off and landing, Flo nasal sprays can help maintain clearer airways. Choosing seats in low-movement areas and focusing on stable points in the distance can also help reduce discomfort.
What first aid items should I include in my travel medicine kit?
A well-prepared travel first-aid kit may include antiseptic wipes, adhesive dressings, blister care products, bandages and general pain relief. If you are travelling to warmer climates, electrolyte replacements may be helpful. Eye care products may also be useful for long flights or dry conditions, while ear plugs or pressure-reducing options can support comfort during air travel. Depending on your destination, you may also wish to include insect bite soothing products or antihistamines.
How should I store my travel medicines?
For best results, store travel medicines in their original packaging and keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If travelling internationally with prescription medicines, carrying a letter from your doctor can be helpful. Some products may have specific storage instructions, so always check the label. Keep your travel medicine kit easily accessible during flights, but secure from children and protected from excessive heat.
