Prepare your travel pharmacy, unpack the enjoyment

We associate summer and holidays with relaxation, a change of pace and precious moments we want to spend in peace. However, the real feeling of safety does not begin only at the destination, but much earlier – at the moment when we start thinking about prevention and health.

A small, carefully put together travel pharmacy is often the key to keeping a holiday truly carefree.

A change in climate, diet and daily routine, more sun and physical activity can all be a challenge for the body. That is why, alongside the essentials in our suitcase, it is important always to have tried and tested allies for our health.

One of the most important products in a summer travel pharmacy is sun protection. Ladival offers dermatologically tested products with a high level of protection against UVA, UVB and IR A radiation, designed for different skin types and needs. The formulations are free from perfume, artificial colours and preservatives, which makes them suitable even for sensitive skin. Depending on the product, Ladival preparations contain carefully selected UV filters and antioxidants, and are applied evenly to the skin before sun exposure, with the protection renewed throughout the day. After sunbathing, Ladival lotions with dexpanthenol, vitamin E and the enzyme photolyase help to soothe, hydrate and regenerate the skin.

Changes in diet and travel often affect the digestive system as well. The Probiotic Probielle is a food supplement that contains a carefully balanced combination of live bacterial cultures – Lactobacillus helveticus Rosell 52, Lactobacillus rhamnosus Rosell 11 and Bifidobacterium longum Rosell 175 – with at least 5 billion beneficial bacteria in a single capsule. It is intended to maintain and restore the balance of the intestinal microbiota, especially in situations where the body is exposed to antibiotics, changes in diet, travel or other factors that can disturb digestive balance, which makes it a practical choice for a travel pharmacy and support for digestive health on the go.

During summer days and high temperatures, loss of fluids and electrolytes can occur quickly.

Rehidran contains an optimal combination of electrolytes and glucose that helps to replace lost fluids and supports normal hydration of the body. It is dissolved in water and used in situations of increased sweating, diarrhoea or general exhaustion, especially during travel.

Intimate health also requires extra attention during the summer. Biota Intima contains selected strains of lactic acid bacteria that help preserve the normal vaginal flora. It is intended for women as support for intimate balance, especially during travel periods. Thanks to its innovative probiotic formula with multiple Lactobacillus strains, lactoferrin and vitamin D3, the capsules help maintain the balance of the vaginal, urinary and intestinal microbiota, thereby helping to prevent bacterial and fungal infections that often occur due to stress, changes in climate, water or diet.

To preserve the health of the urinary tract, especially during long journeys and reduced fluid intake, Urinal is a frequent choice in the travel pharmacy. It contains active herbal extracts and cranberry, which help flush the urinary tract and prevent bacteria from adhering. It is used as preventive support or at the first signs of discomfort.

If fever or pain occur during travel, it is important to have a reliable solution at hand. The recommendation is always paracetamol, which is traditionally used to reduce body temperature and relieve mild to moderate pain, and therefore is often found in the travel pharmacy as part of basic health preparation.

A true holiday does not mean the absence of unforeseen situations, but a feeling of complete relaxation that comes from good preparation. When we know that we have thought about our health in advance, it is easier to relax and surrender to summer – without hurry, without stress, without worry, and with more room for enjoyment.
