Buying meds overseas completely risky. So, I thought I was buying Pepto and Imodium. Turns out, nope. Just vitamins.

Buying meds overseas? Risky. I once thought I bought stomach medicine in Cozumel—turned out it was vitamins. Didn’t help. 🙄 That’s why we always pack a simple cruise wellness kit. It keeps us healthy, saves $$ compared to the ship store, and avoids mystery meds abroad. If you’re planning your next trip, these are must-have travel essentials. Don't risk buying questionable medicine overseas! I learned the hard way, ending up with vitamins instead of what I needed for an upset stomach. This video shares essential travel tips for packing your own medications and how to save money by avoiding the cruise ship store's inflated prices—a pharmacist's advice!
