Why buy a
medipac?

Because we know that over 79% of travellers will get sick when abroad, we have created this medical pack that contains a combination of:

  • Prescription-only medication
  • Sterile dressings
  • Many other useful items that can save your trip from disaster.

e-med has created the medipac because:

  • We were consulting with a lot of travellers who were getting sick whilst abroad
  • The problems often needed to be treated immediately, but whilst abroad the following problems frequently occur:
    • Difficult to find a pharmacist
    • Limited range of stock in pharmacist
    • Out of date stock
    • Problems with bootlegged drugs
    • Stock may take too long to arrive
    • Stock may simply not be available to the pharmacist

The medipac allows you to take the treatment with you so you can quickly treat any problem and your time away won't be ruined.

As e-med sources the contents of the medipac wholesale, we can pass the savings on to you. You would be charged over £200 if, having obtained the relevant prescriptions, you bought the contents from your local pharmacy.

The medipac could save your life.

Don't leave home without it !
