Personal Hygiene Safety Travel Items
Jase Case
Jase Medical is a company dedicated to empowering patients to take care of themselves and their loved ones. Created by a board-certified physician, their Jase Case is an Emergency Antibiotic Pack for travelers.
The pack includes Amoxicillin-Clavulanate, Azithromycin, Ciprofloxacin, Doxycycline, and Metronidazole.
If you’re wondering how you get these prescription medications, you’ll go through a consultation with a physician who will prescribe them to you. You’ll receive a handy travel pouch containing the medications. In addition, there is a “Emergency Antibiotic Guide” that tells you how to use the medications.
These medications can be used to help treat nausea, traveler’s diarrhea, STI’s, illnesses from drinking contaminated water, and more! There’s nothing worse than trying to find a doctor while traveling, especially if you’re miles away from one.
Learn more about the Jase Case and be prepared for your trip! You can also SAVE $10 with the code DIRECTIONALLY10!

These became popular and important during covid, but let’s be honest, travel exposes you to a TON of germs. Masks are especially important on planes or public transportation to keep you from getting sick. I always have a few in my carry on for travel!
Travel Size Hand Sanitizer
I love my travel size hand sanitizer with the clips! They’re 1 fluid ounce so they fit in carry-on liquids. I attach it to the bag that I carry around while traveling so I always have it handy.
