Many medications expire in the heat — and that means in your luggage! Be sure to check your local regulations on ice packs and medical containers in your carry-on for safety's sake until you get to the hotel and can stash them in your mini-fridge.

Seriously, I think precaution is good, but exaggeration is not.

Fair enough, perhaps it was a bit over the top. And if I ruffled some feathers, I want to apologize for that. Just be careful is all, especially for those from normally colder regions. I still have too many more dumb questions to ask, and idiotic suggestions to bother my superiors with! 😉

Another thing for those not used to dealing with hot weather should review is their medications.  Many medications can impact how you sweat or respond to heat or sunlight.  Such things will usually be in the documentation covering side effects.

Similarly, be aware that most electrolyte replacements will be heavy on sodium and traces of potassium and magnesium and may also have interactions with your medications.
