Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a longer vacation, a conversation with your healthcare provider can help you prepare for a safe and enjoyable trip.

Before you travel:

• Make sure you have enough medication for your entire trip (plus extra, if possible)
• Ask about managing medications across time zones
• Discuss any seizure-related concerns specific to your destination
• Review your seizure action plan

A little planning can help you travel with greater confidence.
