How so I safely travel with my injectable Tirzepatide?

Traveling with Injectable Tirzepatide
If you’re planning a vacation or trip while taking injectable Tirzepatide (or another GLP-1 medication), proper preparation can make travel stress-free.

Preparing Your Medication:
  1. Draw only the syringes you’ll need while away; leave your vial safely stored in the refrigerator at home.
  2. This helps protect the medication from temperature changes and reduces the risk of loss or damage during travel.
Storing Filled Syringes:
  1. Once filled, syringes are stable at room temperature for up to 56 days.
  2. No need for cooling packs or refrigeration while traveling.
  3. Store syringes in a clean, secure container (like a travel-safe medical pouch or hard case) to protect them.
Traveling with Your Vial:
  1. Bring the original box, even if empty, as it contains your prescription label. This helps identify your medication at security checkpoints.
  2. TSA allows travelers to carry injectable medications and unused syringes in both carry-on and checked luggage.
  3. Medications that exceed the standard 3.4 oz liquid limit are permitted when medically necessary—GLP-1 medications fall into this category.
  4. Declaring your medications at security is recommended.
Optional Tips:
  1. While TSA does not require medications to be in their original containers, having a label with your name and prescription details can help avoid confusion or delays.
Additional Resources:
  1. Review the TSA’s official guidance on traveling with medications and sharps: TSA Travel Tips
