How Much Medicine to Pack
A simple way to work out the right amount of medication for any trip, plus general guidance for international travel.
Add your trip length and a buffer
The calculator above multiplies your daily dose by your trip length plus any extra buffer days. Example: a 7-day trip with a 2-day buffer means packing enough medicine for 9 days (7 + 2 = 9 days of supply).
Round up, don't round down
For tablets, the calculator rounds the total up to the nearest whole pill so you don't come up short. For liquids, pack at least the calculated total, and round up to the next full bottle if your medicine is sold in fixed sizes.
Keep essential medicine in your carry-on
Checked luggage can be delayed or lost. Keep the medication you need during travel — and ideally your full supply — in your carry-on bag, in its original labeled packaging.
Check international travel rules
Some countries restrict or require documentation for certain medications, including controlled substances. Before international travel, check your destination country's rules and consider carrying a copy of your prescription or a doctor's letter.
