Hi; Camino Newbie Question, re: medications

[LisaJo]

I have to take certain medications daily; do I keep them with me always, in my daypack (for 30+days) or do I split them up between luggage and daypack? What have others done?

It sounds like you will be using pack transport? If so, I wouldn't worry about keeping all my meds with me all the time. I put each day's medication in a tiny individual baggie. I don't use pack transport, so I do carry all of them with me all the time. Fortunately, every day I carry a little less as I use them.

Have a copy of you prescription I your email in case you need to replace them. Research how your medication, active ingredient is called in Spain. A international pharmacy’s can help. Same with how to take it and your doc and emergency’s contact

I think it will depend on whether you are able to fulfil a prescription in Spain. And how dependant you are on them. I had mine blisterpacked before i left and carried them with me at all times. I nearly lost my pack once, with bag transport, which could easily have turned into a disaster if my medications were in it.
