How so I safely travel with my injectable Tirzepatide?
Traveling with Injectable Tirzepatide
People may travel with prescription medications in different ways depending on their routine, destination, and provider’s guidance. The information below outlines general considerations some patients find helpful when preparing for a trip with compounded injectable tirzepatide.
Preparing for Your Trip
Some individuals choose to prepare only the doses they will need while traveling and store any remaining medication according to the instructions included with their prescription. If you have questions about how to organize your medication for travel, your healthcare provider or the dispensing pharmacy can offer guidance specific to your prescription.
Transporting Your Medication
- Many travelers keep their medication in its original packaging because it includes prescription details that may help identify the medication during airport screening.
- TSA permits passengers to travel with injectable medications and unused syringes in both carry-on and checked luggage.
- Medically necessary liquids may be allowed in quantities greater than 3.4 oz, following TSA procedures.
- You may choose to declare medications at security so they can be screened appropriately.
- For the most current information, you can review TSA guidance on traveling with medications and sharps.
Storage While Traveling
Storage recommendations for your medication—including temperature considerations—are provided by the compounding pharmacy with your prescription. If you are unsure how to store your medication during travel or notice any changes in its appearance, contact your healthcare provider for clarification.
