How do I safely travel with my injectable Semaglutide?

Traveling with Injectable Semaglutide
If you’re planning a trip while taking a GLP-1 medication like injectable Semaglutide, proper preparation can help you travel stress-free.

Preparing Your Medication:
  1. Draw only what you need: Fill the syringes you’ll use while away and leave the vial safely stored in the refrigerator at home to protect it from temperature fluctuations or damage.
  2. Stability: Once filled, syringes are stable at room temperature for up to 56 days, so no refrigeration or cooling packs are needed during travel.
  3. Storage: Keep syringes in a clean, secure container, such as a travel-safe medical pouch or hard case.
Travel Tips:
  1. Bring the original box: Even if empty, it contains your prescription label, which helps identify your medication at security checkpoints.
  2. TSA Guidelines:
    1. You can carry injectable medications and unused syringes in carry-on or checked luggage, but you must declare them at security.
    2. Medications are considered medically necessary, so liquids over 3.4 oz are allowed.
    3. Original containers are not required, but a label with your name and prescription details is helpful to avoid delays.
  3. Review TSA guidance: Their official tips on traveling with medications, including injectable drugs and medical sharps, can be found here: TSA: Traveling with Medications
