Don't let a sick day steal your vacation.

A generic first aid kit treats injuries that have already happened. Fairview Travel Kits are built for prevention and destination specific treatment. The travelers' diarrhea protocol for your specific region. The norovirus prevention regimen for your cruise. The altitude sickness support for your trek. The blister prevention system for the 22,000 step day in Rome. The comparison is between a fire extinguisher and a fire prevention system. A generic kit assumes everyone travels the same way. Each Fairview kit was built around the documented health risks of one specific travel scenario.

In some destinations yes. In many, no. Finding a pharmacy that carries DEET at the CDC recommended 30 percent concentration in rural Costa Rica, or locating oral rehydration salts in a Philippine resort town at 2am, is not a reliable plan. Ship pharmacies charge $150 to $300 for a consultation that costs $30 at urgent care. European pharmacies operate under different regulations that make buying familiar American products difficult. Having everything before you leave is the only plan that guarantees preparation.

Most travelers use 40 to 60 percent of their kit. The remaining items become your emergency coverage, the protection you hope you don't need but will be profoundly grateful for if you do. A QuikClot gauze pad weighs nothing and you may never need it. But if you do need it, it is irreplaceable. That is the logic behind every item in every Fairview kit. Nothing is filler. Every item earns its weight.

Order at least 7 days before departure for tropical and family trips, 5 days for Europe, and 2 weeks for adventure expeditions. Some protocols require pre departure time to work. The Tropical Kit's probiotic should start 1 week before travel, and the bismuth subsalicylate prevention protocol starts 2 days before arrival. Kits ship within 24 hours of order. Free shipping on orders over $50.

Yes. All liquid products are in TSA compliant sizes (under 3.4oz). Medically necessary liquids including children's medications and ORS solution are exempt from the size limit and should be declared at security in original packaging. Dr. Mike's recommendation: always pack your travel kit in your carry on, not checked luggage. Checked bags get delayed or lost, and a kit you can't reach during a 14 hour flight or hotel arrival is a kit you don't have.

Match the kit to your destination type. Tropical for Mexico, Caribbean, Southeast Asia, Africa, Central or South America. Family for any trip with children under 12 (pediatric safe, weight based dosing). Maritime for any cruise or sailing trip. Europe for European cities and multi city walking tours. Adventure for remote wilderness and high altitude treks. Some travelers buy two: families going to the tropics often pair the Tropical and Family kits. Not sure? Call Dr. Mike directly.

Domestic ship to all 50 states. International shipping is available for select destinations, contact Fairview directly. Free shipping over $50 in the United States. Kits ship within 24 hours of order. FSA and HSA accepted on every kit.

Every kit is built by Dr. Mike Acheampong, PharmD, MPH. He filled prescriptions at a high volume CVS pharmacy before opening Fairview, has 13 plus years of pharmacist practice, has personally treated travelers who came home sick from the same destinations these kits are designed for, and has traveled to 20 plus countries across 4 continents. His name and license are attached to every box. That accountability does not exist when a generic travel pack is assembled by a fulfillment company.
