You should always travel with your medical information and know what active ingredients are in your maintenance medication. If things are lost or stolen or you have a need to obtain specific medication in another country, it can put you in a very difficult and critical situation.

We had a case of an mature insured with several health conditions including diabetes, high blood pressure, and hypercholesterolemia. Some of her medication was lost with her luggage after she arrived in Brazil. She contacted Seven Corners, and we assisted her by getting the names of her medications, determining the names of the medications(in Portuguese) that had the same ingredients, and located and obtained the medication for her while she was in Brazil. It is always helpful to have a list of medications and ingredients for any maintenance drugs you might be taking at the time of your travels.
