- Before planning for travel, your wife should be checked up thoroughly by her treating doctor & permit her for travel. She may prescribe few medicines to be taken during travel. Take them regularly BE careful about your routine medicines ( specially Thyronorm & Gestone ) .
- try to have reclining seats/ use seat belts to prevent slightest of jerk.inquire about carrier before you start for the journey.
