Common Medications

Sweden is generally considered a low-risk destination for health concerns, but preparation is always wise. Travelers may want to carry medications for minor ailments, such as ibuprofen or antihistamines, for headaches or allergies. Additionally, treatments for traveler’s diarrhea, like Loperamide or Azithromycin, can be helpful, especially if you plan to sample a variety of local foods. If you’re traveling to rural or forested areas, insect repellent and antihistamines are also recommended to minimize the effects of insect bites. Runway Health makes it simple to stock up on these essentials with online consultations and fast, reliable delivery.

Immunizations & Vaccinations

Before traveling to Sweden, ensure that your routine vaccinations are up to date, including measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTaP), and influenza. Though Sweden does not have widespread health risks, travelers planning extended stays in rural areas may also consider vaccinations for tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), particularly if visiting during the summer months when ticks are most active. For additional peace of mind, consult your healthcare provider to determine if any other vaccinations are relevant based on your personal health history and travel plans.
