When determining which medications to pack for a trip, it is important to address the following factors: what medicines are participants and leaders trained to distribute to others, which ones are considered lifesaving, which medicines are the most likely to be needed based on itinerary and foreseeable risks, and finally, how much room is in the first aid kit.
Include manufacturers inserts when packing medications.
Try to purchase medications in tablet form, as these hold up the best in the rugged<unk>  environment.
Consider cost vs. effectiveness of medication when deciding whether to bring drugs in pack, or purchase them when you arrive at your destination.  Many countries do not have the same standards as the U.S. FDA, therefore it is sometimes a risk to buy medications once you arrive at your destination.
If going through customs with personal prescription medications, make sure each medicine is labeled with the patient's name, prescribing doctor's name, dosing schedule, warnings, and indications.  It is also helpful to have "For use by expedition only' written on prescription bottles that are part of the group medical kit.
Medical professionals should travel with multiple copies of their credentials in the event they are questioned at customs.
