Travel medicine online
A licensed clinician reviews your destination, itinerary, and health history, then prescribes malaria prevention, a standby traveler's diarrhea antibiotic, altitude or motion sickness medication when that is clinically appropriate — sent to your pharmacy.
Insurance and self-pay options available.
Ondoc does not administer vaccines — those are given in person at a travel clinic, pharmacy, or health department. Every prescription is a clinical decision and none is guaranteed.

Can Ondoc help with this?
Yes, for the prescription and advice side of pre-travel care. Not for vaccines, which require in-person administration elsewhere.
What happens during the visit
Where you're going and when, activities and altitude, your health history, current medications, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and prior reactions.
What the clinician can provide
Malaria prophylaxis, standby traveler's diarrhea treatment, altitude and motion sickness medication when appropriate, plus lab orders and referrals.
What a travel visit can cover
Malaria prevention
Risk depends on the exact region and season. When prophylaxis fits your trip and your history, the clinician prescribes it and explains start and stop timing plus bite prevention.
Traveler's diarrhea
Food and water guidance, oral rehydration, and a standby antibiotic to carry when appropriate. Severe illness while abroad needs in-person care.
Altitude sickness
Ascent pacing first. Acetazolamide when your itinerary and health history support it, with the warning signs that mean descend now.
Motion sickness
Practical measures and, when appropriate, a prescription option for long flights, boats, or mountain roads.
What may need in-person care
- All travel vaccines, including yellow fever certificates.
- Fever after travel to a malaria region — that is urgent, in-person care.
- Severe dehydration, bloody diarrhea, or breathing difficulty at altitude.
Insurance and self-pay
Select insurance or self-pay in care discovery before entering personal information. See pricing.

Common questions
- Does Ondoc give travel vaccines?
- No. Vaccines have to be administered in person, so Ondoc does not provide them. A clinician can review which vaccines your trip typically calls for and point you to a travel clinic, pharmacy, or health department that administers them.
- Can I get malaria prevention medication online?
- A clinician reviews your destination, dates, activities, health history, and medications, then prescribes malaria prophylaxis — such as atovaquone-proguanil or doxycycline — when it is clinically appropriate for your trip. It is never guaranteed, and it is not prescribed where it would be unsafe for you.
- What about traveler's diarrhea?
- Prevention advice, oral rehydration guidance, and a standby antibiotic to carry when your trip and health history support it. If you are already sick and it is severe — high fever, bloody stools, dehydration — that needs care where you are, in person.
- Altitude and motion sickness?
- Both can be evaluated remotely. When appropriate, a clinician can prescribe acetazolamide for high-altitude itineraries or a motion sickness medication, alongside plain guidance on ascent pacing and non-drug measures.
- How far ahead should I book?
- Two to four weeks before you leave is comfortable — some medications start days before arrival, and vaccines you arrange elsewhere need lead time. Later than that is still worth doing.
If this is how you'd describe it
“I need motion sickness patches for a cruise,” “I'm going to a malaria country next month,” “I need something for altitude on my Peru trip,” and “what do I need before travelling” all describe the same task: a pre-travel consultation with a licensed clinician.
This is a scheduled visit. Prescriptions, when appropriate, go to your pharmacy. Ondoc does not administer vaccines — those are given in person.
- “I need scopolamine patches for a cruise”
- Motion sickness is a normal reason for a pre-travel visit, and the clinician will discuss both practical measures and prescription options. No specific medication — scopolamine included — is guaranteed; it depends on your health history, other medications, and clinical judgement.
- “I leave in a week — is that too late?”
- Often not for prescription items, though malaria prophylaxis and some medications work best when started before departure, and vaccines usually need more lead time. Book the earliest time and tell the clinician your departure date.
- “Can I get my travel vaccines from Ondoc?”
- No. Vaccines, including yellow fever certificates, must be given in person at a travel clinic, pharmacy, or health department. Ondoc covers the prescription and advice side of pre-travel care.
