I'm leaving for Europe on the 23rd in the evening and I take medication in the morning and evening. What do I do with the time difference?

Hello ! Excellent question! Do you know the exact number of hours difference? Europe is generally 5 to 7 hours ahead of Quebec, depending on where you are traveling.It also depends on the time you usually take your medication. Can you tell me more about this?

Hello again! Excellent! I suggest that you shift your medications gradually to avoid having symptoms related to the change in schedule (palpitations or pressure increase, for example). You could start shifting them 3 days before your departure For example:Quebec time july 20: 6:30 am & 6:30 pm july 21: 7:30am & 7:30pm july 22: 8:30am & 8:30pm july 23rd : 9:30am & 9:30pm (on the plane) France time july 24: 4:30 pm july 25th : 4:30am & 5:30pm july 26: 5:30 am & 6:30 pm july 27: 6:30 am & 6:30 pm (back to your usual schedule) For your return, you will be able to make the transition in the same way! If you want to give me your dates and times of the return flight, I will be able to make you a schedule as above Have a good trip! Laurie Hudon-Germain, pharmacist

Yes, for the 24th of July there will only be one intake at 4:30 pm! As such you will not skip any dose, this is an illusion due to the time difference Here is the schedule for the return trip Time in France august 4: 6:30am & 6:30pm august 5th: 7:30am & 7:30pm august 6: 8:30 am & 8:30 pm august 7th : 9:30 am Quebec time august 7: 3:30 pm august 8: 4:30 am & 4:30 pm august 9th: 5:30am & 5:30pm august 10: 6:30am & 6:30pm (back to your regular schedule!) Don't hesitate if I can do anything else for you! Have a good trip! Laurie Hudon-Germain, pharmacist
