Going to Foreign Countries With Medication

Thu, 09/29/2016 - 17:23
Greetings, everyone I was not sure if this was proper place to post but did not see a travel section. I am an 18 year old American who is going on a trip to Ukraine in about a week and am very excited. I am on Keppra right now and was wondering if anyone knows if I would be able to bring it in with me or where I could find out this. Thanks!

there is a 24/7 help line 1-800-332-1000They can get you an answer. You might want to call the TSA also so they can inform you on how to pack your meds.Call your neurologist and ask how to deal with the different time zones since dosages need to be taken the same time morning and night. You don't want a breakthrough seizure happening.Those are all things you really \need to think about other then having a great time
