Okay, had a tough time figuring out what forum to put this in... We shall see.
I have various health conditions and end up taking about 15 vitamins a day (D3, magnesium, Vitamin C, Leutin, Fiestin, B2, Zinc, Baby Aspirin, Milk Thistle, Echinacea, Basis, 2 others).
Not taking them with me is not a possibility.
About to go on a 7 month trek through Central and South America, and am faced with the daunting task of figuring out how to *best* carry them.
In the past, here's what I've done:
Put each of my daily stack into a small ziplock pill pack, then stuff them into a kitchen plastic container (see below). This fits about 3 months of pills. This time I need significantly more.
Ran across another blog where the person put one type of pill in a ziplock bag and labeled them.
Wonder if having all the same pills in a bag, then layering them would reduce the amount of space it would take in the container vs mixed?
Carrying bottles is out of the question - 24 bottles is huge.
Regarding customs, I just carry some color printouts of all my vitamin bottles lined up with one pill in front of it - so they can match it against my pills. Actually - through 50+ countries never had anyone even inquire. (checked or carry-on). But this time going through Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela and other places I'm a bit more hesitant. All prescription meds I take are in original packing with prescription.
Has anyone seen a better solution for packing pills? Already have a super tight suitcase (and please take resist the temptation to ask/tell me I don't need that many pills)..
Thanks!
