Medical Supply Shopping List for Travel

Due to several requests from the Wanderers Compass community to make purchasing some of the items simpler, I put together this Travel Medical Supply Shopping List. It has many of the items, medical devices, and even some of the medications we use for our own personal travel.

In the case of medications like Ibuprofen, Tylenol, and Aspirin, I will not list those items on the list below. Most people have their own sources for these medications, but all of these common medications are available and can be found on Amazon.

The items listed are the ones we used. It does not mean they have to be a choice you make. There are many good pulse oximeters or BP wrist cuffs. Find what is best for you. Ask your physician if they have any favorite brands. Check out reviews as overtime quality can change.

As it is always a good practice, please check with your physician before taking over-the-counter meds and supplements. They will know if these would be contraindicated for your health.

All links below connect to Amazon.com. That is all we use; it is fast, reliable, and easy to gather necessary purchases before our trips. Of course, if you have your own preferred place, you will likely find most of these items there.
