Is this a real prescription?+
Yes. Every TripKitRx kit is prescribed by Dr. Rasmussen, D.O. after reviewing your intake. Medications are dispensed from a licensed U.S. pharmacy and shipped directly to you. This is not a supplement — it is a legitimate prescription antibiotic kit.
How is this different from a walk-in travel clinic?+
A travel clinic appointment typically takes 2–3 weeks to schedule, requires in-person attendance, and focuses primarily on vaccines. TripKitRx provides antibiotic preparedness — what to have with you if you get sick — with no appointment, in under 24 hours, reviewed by a physician who specializes in exactly this.
Can I bring this through customs?+
Yes. Your kit comes with a prescription label identifying the medications, Dr. Rasmussen, and the patient name. This is legally prescribed medication and can be carried through customs like any other prescription drug. We include a physician letter for international travel if required.
What if I have allergies or existing prescriptions?+
Your intake form collects allergy and medication information, and Dr. Rasmussen accounts for all contraindications before prescribing. If you have a common antibiotic allergy (e.g., penicillin), an appropriate alternative will be selected.
Do I need to use the kit, or can I just carry it?+
The kit is for use only when you develop symptoms meeting the criteria in your included symptom guide — written by Dr. Rasmussen. Many travelers carry the kit and never use it. That is the point: the safety net, not the illness.
Does insurance cover TripKitRx?+
Most standard insurance plans do not cover elective travel preparation prescriptions. We provide an itemized receipt that some FSA/HSA plans may accept. Contact us for corporate and bulk pricing.
