What actually goes in a travel first-aid kit
Eight modules, and a table that says how each one travels. We name categories, not products — what fills each slot is what your pharmacist hands you when you describe the trip.
Plan this tripIt weighs less than you think
The health pack in our planner comes to 280 g for one person — about the weight of a paperback. The reason kits balloon is duplication: three things for the same situation, and a full bottle of something sold in sachets.
How each module travels
Not what anything does — that is a pharmacist's answer. This is the packing answer: what form it takes, which bag it belongs in, whether heat ruins it, whether you can replace it at the destination, and what a border wants to see.
Weights are bands, not promises. They come from the per-item figures behind our packing planner and vary with how much you carry.
Open one to see what belongs in it, how it packs and whether you can buy it there instead.
packset.travel is an independent trip-planning tool, not a pharmacy or a medical service. This page is about packing — what form things travel in, which bag they belong in and what paperwork crosses a border. What actually goes in each slot is a question for your pharmacist or doctor, and the official sources linked here have the last word.
Our planner puts the health pack next to everything else you are carrying, with a weight for the whole bag rather than a list you have to add up yourself.
