A Short Medication Notification

Travelers' diarrhea is the most common travel-related ailment. The cornerstone of prevention is food and water precautions. All travelers should bring along an antibiotic and an anti-diarrheal drug to be started promptly if significant diarrhea occurs, defined as three or more loose stools in an 8-hour period or five or more loose stools in a 24-hour period, especially if associated with nausea, vomiting, cramps, fever or blood in the stool. If diarrhea is severe or bloody, or if fever occurs with shaking chills, or if abdominal pain becomes marked, medical attention should be sought.
Bring adequate supplies of all medications in their original containers, clearly labeled. Carry a signed, dated letter from the primary physician describing all medical conditions and listing all medications, including generic names. If carrying syringes or needles, be sure to carry a physician's letter documenting their medical necessities. If you wear glasses or contacts, bring an extra pair.

Do's & Don'ts

Do not drink Bali water!
Drink bottled or purified water only and watch for ice cubes too!
Keep well hydrated to avoid Bali Belly.
Ensure three good meals a day and drink lots of water
Cut down on your consumption of alcohol.
Avoid mosquito bites, as they transmit the malaria disease.
Wear long trousers, skirts, sleeves and socks to help discourage bites, this is especially recommended after sunset.
Use insect repellent on exposed skin and avoid areas of still water.
Don't forget to slip on a shirt, slop on sun screen and slap on a hat - the Bali sun can burn you quickly.
Ensure you are up to date with your regular vaccinations i.e. Tetanus, Diphtheria, Polio and Hepatitis A

Pack a mini first aid kit of band aids, antiseptic, panadol etc.
