Common Medications

Traveling to the Philippines requires preparation for common health risks. Malaria and dengue fever are concerns in some rural areas, so antimalarial medications and mosquito repellents are recommended. Traveler’s diarrhea is another frequent issue, making antibiotics like Azithromycin useful for bacterial infections. Over-the-counter remedies for motion sickness, allergies, and minor discomforts can also come in handy during your journey. Runway Health makes it easy to access these essential medications, ensuring you’re prepared for any challenges during your trip.

Immunizations & Vaccinations

Staying up to date on routine vaccinations is crucial before visiting the Philippines. These include measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTaP), and influenza. Hepatitis A and B vaccinations are also strongly recommended, as these diseases can be contracted through contaminated food, water, or close contact. Typhoid vaccination is advisable for travelers heading to rural or less developed areas, while rabies vaccination may be necessary for those planning extended stays or activities involving animals. Although yellow fever is not a risk in the Philippines, travelers arriving from countries with yellow fever transmission may be required to show proof of vaccination. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations based on your travel itinerary.
