Travel Health

The pharmaceutical services presented in this section are offered by pharmacist-owners affiliated with UNIPRIX.

Pharmacists are solely responsible for the professional activities carried out within the framework of the practice of pharmacy.

Are you planning on taking a trip? Let’s prepare it first! We often plan the time, the destination, the activities… But we must not forget to think about the problems that can be anticipated through vaccination or the prescription of certain medications.

 

Different recommendations are made for each country and even different cities within the same country. You must therefore make sure that you take the time for a travel health consultation, preferably a few weeks before departure.

 

What will the pharmacist do during this consultation? He will review your itinerary, the style of travel you plan to do, the conditions in which you will travel and the activities planned.

 

The suggestions that the pharmacist will make to you may concern the following points:

Updating your vaccination record

Addition of vaccines for destination

Malaria prevention

Prevention of traveler's diarrhea

Risk assessment if traveling at altitude

Some destinations will have simple hygiene recommendations, while for more exotic destinations it will be necessary to establish a vaccination schedule over several weeks.

So, about a month before your departure, we suggest you think about making an appointment for a consultation with your pharmacist.
