We begin with a favorite topic for hypochondriacs and those prone to headaches. NSAIDs , or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs , are the most widely used over-the-counter medications for a wide variety of situations that arise in everyday life, including while traveling. A sudden headache, a tooth that’s acting up, or sudden back pain require the use of anti-inflammatories such as the convenient Okitask (ketoprofen), which dissolves directly in the mouth, or the classic sachet to be poured into water, such as Menarini Fastumdol anti-inflammatory 25mg . NSAIDs act on the enzymes responsible for the inflammatory process, but for greater safety while traveling, it may be advisable to carry a cortisone -based medication , which is also useful in cases of local or systemic allergies. Some of these medications may require a prescription from your family doctor.

Who doesn’t know or have never used paracetamol ? It’s one of the most commonly used over-the-counter paracetamol- based medications for lowering fever in adults and children. For this reason, it’s essential to carry it when traveling, perhaps in its tablet form or in convenient orodispersible tablets ( Angelini Tachipirina 500mg Flashtab ) to dissolve in the mouth when away from home. Paracetamol is also an excellent analgesic, useful for muscle and joint pain. To complete your fever kit, especially if traveling with small children, it may be a good idea to also bring a compact and handy manual thermometer or a digital thermometer .

Traveling, whether in summer or winter, can often lead to sudden temperature changes that can alter the function of the respiratory cilia and cause annoying symptoms like coughing. It’s precisely at these times that you’d like to have a cough syrup handy to soothe and calm the urge to cough, especially at night. This is where some medical devices created by the pharmaceutical industry come into play to help manage coughs even when you’re away from home. We’re talking about products like Dott. C. Cagnola Hyaluron Tosse & Gola Tablets or Montefarmaco Respiro Balsamic Throat Candies . These formulations, in the form of lozenges, contain hydrating and lubricating substances like hyaluronic acid or soothing substances like plant extracts or propolis . These products are taken orally and dissolved in the mouth to promote the well-being of the throat and airways, minimizing irritation and scratchy coughs.

Those who suffer from indigestion, reflux , and acidity often find themselves faced with new foods, spices, and condiments when traveling, which can aggravate their already difficult digestion. For this reason, it may be necessary to add products like Biochetasi or Bayer Citrosodina 10 sachets to your travel kit . These are two very useful formulations for aiding digestion and combating nausea and acidity, resulting from overly elaborate and heavy lunches and dinners. Those who suffer from gastroesophageal reflux should not forget products like Riopan and the healthy habit of eating many small meals throughout the day, avoiding large binges that can be detrimental to reflux. Spicy foods, spices, coffee, and acidic foods should also be avoided, but did you already know this? If not, you could read the article ” Not just heartburn: what to do for gastroesophageal reflux ” in the Trovaprezzi.it Magazine.

Diarrhea is one of the worst travel enemies and can ruin entire plans. Running from bathroom to bathroom is unpleasant, whether at the beach or in the mountains, and even more so during tours and guided visits. Very often, the cause lies in changes in eating habits and the consumption of foods and drinks contaminated by bacteria or other microorganisms. It’s often referred to as “Montezuma’s Revenge” (you can learn more about this in the magazine article ” Traveler’s Diarrhea “), a pathological condition that brings with it diarrhea, cramps, urges to defecate, and many other gastrointestinal symptoms that can require the use of loperamide-based medications , such as Imodium . The pharmaceutical sector dedicated to intestinal and stomach health is enriched by drugs useful for reducing cramps and spastic pain in the intestinal mucosa, such as Sanofi Buscopan 10mg . It is a product based on semi-synthetic Belladonna alkaloids , useful for counteracting all painful and cramp-like symptoms that affect the gastrointestinal system.

When traveling abroad, one of the most common problems for Italians isn’t tropical infections or sunburn, but the lack of a bidet . Of course, we’re joking, but perhaps not entirely! When going to the bathroom or experiencing diarrhea or dysentery, one of the products you should never be without are intimate wipes . There are countless products to choose from, and each has its own specific characteristics, ranging from different pH levels for treating intimate areas in women and men, to the presence of soothing and calming plant extracts to prevent redness in the anal area. Dermacotone Intimate Wipes XXL , for example, is a delicate, large wipe with plant extracts highly regarded for their anti-redness properties. Among other inconveniences, you may find yourself needing to go to the bathroom far from home or a hotel, and therefore having to settle for public restrooms or similar. For this reason, especially for women, it may be wise to stock up on surface sanitizing wipes, such as Napisan Multi-Surface Sanitizing Wipes . These wipes are an effective solution for removing dirt and germs that may be present on toilet rims. Finally, even though the Covid-19 pandemic is over, hand hygiene must always be kept in mind, which is why it’s important to carry sanitizing products like Amuchina X-Germ Hand Sanitizer Gel , which effectively reduce germs.

Ear pain , caused by seawater buildup or minor infections, can be a nuisance . Such conditions can compromise your peace of mind while traveling, which is why it’s essential to carry appropriate medications and health products. It may be necessary to purchase (prescription only) antibiotic drops for any infections, especially if you’re particularly prone to them. However, it can be helpful to include in your travel kit a prescription ear drops with an anesthetic and pain-relieving effect , such as Difar Distribuzione Dropfeel Otocare Dolore Gocce Auricolari . This can reduce any pain and inflammation affecting the outer or middle ear. Other health products that can be added to your travel kit include devices like Ibsa Cerulisina Fast ear spray. This formulation is used for daily ear hygiene in children and to prevent earwax buildup and the formation of annoying and painful plugs.

Another travel-related issue is the size (in ml) of products you can carry in your suitcase. The rules are clear: “ Liquids carried on board, including drinks, toothpaste, creams or gels, must be placed in a transparent plastic bag with a maximum capacity of 1 litre and each container must not exceed 100 ml . Containers with a capacity greater than 100 ml must be placed in checked baggage.” For this reason, your oral and body hygiene must be adapted to the needs of the flight. For example, there are solutions such as Curaprox Travel Set and Tau-Marin Tau-Kit which contain a foldable toothbrush and travel-sized toothpaste. As for hair hygiene , there are products for dry use such as BioNike Defence Hair Purifying Dry Shampoo or 2-in-1 solid formulations (shampoo + bath foam) such as EuPhidra Doccia Solido Shampoo ai Fiori di Cotone .

When traveling, especially in countries with low sanitation standards, you may find yourself in situations where it’s best to increase your hygiene levels, as well as disinfect the environments around you . Seats and armrests on public transport, restrooms, placemats, dining tables, and many other surfaces may require the use of disinfectant sprays or wipes , which reduce the risk of coming into contact with pathogens that cause infections. Pharmalife Virpur Hand and Surface Disinfectant Spray , for example, is a 2-in-1 liquid product that can be used both to sanitize and disinfect the surfaces around you. Another product highly appreciated by travelers is Citrosil Multi-Surface Sanitizing Wipes 40 pieces , made in the form of cleaning wipes for use on all surfaces and effective in eliminating bacteria and other pathogenic germs.

It’s not a healthy trip without sunscreen for your face and body , as well as lip balm and hair care products . Trovaprezzi.it offers two in-depth guides on this topic, one on choosing the best sunscreen for your needs, ” How to prepare for sun exposure: a guide to buying sunscreen, ” and another, even more specific, on ” Protecting lips, face, and hair: a guide to buying the best sunscreen products .” These guides will help you choose the best product for your protection needs, whether you’re traveling to a seaside or mountain destination. Here, we’ll focus on all the products you can bring with you, even if you only have carry-on luggage. Among the very convenient travel sunscreens are formulations such as La Roche Posay Anthelios Dermo Pediatrics Milk SPF50+ suitable for protecting the most sensitive skin of children and newborns, or products such as EuPhidra Kaleido Uv System Dermopediatric Sun Milk SPF50+ enriched with antioxidants and substances that nourish and soothe the skin.
