Africa's extreme remoteness and often limited access to medical care make it imperative to be self-reliant. The Africa Med Kit is meticulously designed to ensure that you can provide your own care if needed, offering peace of mind as you explore.

Our kit contains atovaquone-proguanil (Malarone), a daily medication for malaria prevention. Regular use aids in protecting against the disease. 14 days of Malarone are included by default, but the number of tablets can be adjusted based on your travel needs.
The kit includes albendazole and metronidazole (Flagyl) for worm and protozoal infection, addressing a broad range of parasitic ailments you may encounter.
Food-borne illnesses are also common. So, we've included azithromycin for treating traveler's diarrhea, and ondansetron for handling nausea and vomiting. Plus bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) and loperamide (Imodium) to complete the gastrointestinal care suite.
The Africa Med Kit features meclizine for motion sickness prevention, allowing you to take on the wild and rugged roads of the African continent. Whether on an adventurous safari or traversing the breathtaking desert landscapes, ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.
The Africa Med Kit also includes essential medications from our Adult Med Kit to prepare you for other situations. This includes ciprofloxacin and amoxicillin-clavulanate (Augmentin) for broad-spectrum antibiotic coverage, ciprofloxacin ophthalmic for eye/ear infections, mupirocin for topical treatment of infections, and prednisone for allergic reaction and inflammation.
✈️ TSA & Customs Ready. Each medication is individually labeled with its prescription to meet international travel requirements.
Not all destinations in Africa require malaria medication. Our doctors will review your itinerary and customize your Med Kit accordingly.
Medications in the Africa Med Kit include albendazole, amoxicillin-clavulanate, atovaquone-proguanil, azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, ciprofloxacin ophthalmic, metronidazole, mupirocin, ondansetron, prednisone, and more — with 70+ items available for customization.

Designed for travel within Africa, the Africa Med Kit is a comprehensive solution for health challenges you may face in remote or medically underserved areas. It includes essential medications for malaria prevention, parasitic infections, food-borne illnesses, motion sickness, and other common travel-related ailments. The kit is thoughtfully curated to provide broad-spectrum care, from antibiotics and anti-parasitics to gastrointestinal treatments, ensuring you're well-prepared for a range of medical scenarios. This kit not only offers essential medications but also peace of mind, allowing you to focus on your African adventure with confidence. Only your Duration Health provider can decide, based on your medical history and other factors, whether it is medically appropriate for you to receive prescriptions. We do not sell prefabricated bags of pharmaceuticals. Each Duration Health Med Kit that contains prescription medications is custom assembled, tailored to each individual patient's needs.
Duration Health is not a pharmacy, is not a nonprescription retailer, and does not sell medications directly. To be able to deliver a customized kit of medications, Duration Health has partnered with a third-party mail order pharmacy. You may request that any prescriptions be sent to an alternate pharmacy. Duration Health charges an administrative convenience fee for its services, but Duration Health does not sell prescription or over-the-counter ("OTC") drugs, mark-up the cost of prescription or OTC drugs, or retain any portion of the fees our affiliated pharmacy charges to you. Nor does Duration Health provide medical advice about or prescribe OTC medications. In states where Duration Health’s physician consultation services are not offered, Duration Health only offers OTC products and does not provide clients with access to obtain a physician consultation. Clients are free to purchase OTC medications of their choice as an OTC-only kit.
