What medications should I bring to Egypt?

If you have digestive issues, pack enzyme supplements like Creon or Pancreatin. Avoid fatty and spicy food; other dietary restrictions can be followed loosely.

It's especially important to bring enough of any chronic condition medications — for blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, cancer treatment, or cholesterol. These are hard to find in Egypt and many travelers need them.

Egyptian pharmacies stock medications by active ingredient (INN), not brand name. Before you travel, find out the generic/INN name of your medications so you can find equivalents if needed.
