People react differently to the drugs (like all drugs) so the best thing is to rry a weeks run before you travel, to make sure you're unaffected by the ones you use.

It's been a few years since I had to take them and was on a weekly tablet of one med, and daily tablet of another. This was to increase effectiveness of the overall combo - none of the drugs being 100% reliably effective.
