What does everyone do when they travel?
-
How do you keep things like BPC-157 and Wolverine cold while you travel? Should I make a pen cart with the amount I need for my trip? Planning to fly somewhere for the holidays and trying to figure out what works best. I just saw the ice pack and travel case, but I was hoping to avoid leaving it in someone's refrigerator while traveling. Do I really need to keep it cold for 4-5 days?

the cold storage is more for sterility but does help with degradation. You want to keep them in ice pack when travelling and fridge when you are at your destination. or time the trip with an off cycle. I only travel with my GLP1 meds, and only carry one or two shots at max. and always keep in stable cold environment, as best as possible. anything else is a risk.

@Templeton Spot on in my experience. Cut the stack down and travel with the bare minimum.

There are insulin vaults that are cooled. I do wonder how much fun it will be to show this to TSA and answer questions about peptides.

I am in a hotel right now as my first time traveling with peptides. I bought this from Amazon and the freezer packs lasted the entire 6 hours from my house to the hotel and were still frozen and solid. I had it in my carry on and TSA never blinked or asked me to remove it. In the hotel I put it in the fridge. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLC8YF6F?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

I need to travel internationally for a month towards end of Dec. The only one I want to keep running is Reta and I was planning to take it in an unlabeled vial with an unopened insulin syringe pack.
What do people think? I read the discussion post by @randy that pens are better, but I'm trying to avoid getting a pen just for this travel, which will need me to get pen needles and cartridges too, and I normally always use syringes.
-
Seems like the disposable travel pen is perfect for you @pep_researcher. You get a 2pack from the store, load it up with your reta and just take the pens with you. If you get stopped, which I doubt you will, just say its your insulin pens.
@denti Hmmmm I guess you didn't read the last part of my reply "but I'm trying to avoid getting a pen just for this travel, which will need me to get pen needles and cartridges too, and I normally always use syringes."
The disposable pens don't come with cartridges and pen needles and I'm not yet committed to pens to get those separately just for these.
-
I understand you want to avoid it, but I am suggesting your trip for a month is basically the perfect setup for travel disposable pens. If you still want to avoid that, then print out a label putting the name of some insulin and you'll be fine. No one is going to think twice.

@denti Yeah, was thinking of putting "Tirzepatide" on it. They are not gonna send the vial for ID check.
I don't know any insulin names... going GLP route has saved from that knowledge. hehe -

@pep_researcher a disposable pen is the way. Add a nice label and its no question.
Vials and needles raise eye brows but with the right labels you can make those look "official" too.
its a public forum so saying more than that is probably a bad idea for me.

I travel all the time for work….never had a problem with TSA as long as I check my bag. I put in a pepticool container with an ice pak….it works well.
@rmchrist You put reconned peps in a CHECKED BAG? I'm not going to do that as the temperatures in cargo can swing heavily. What I can do is put syringes in checked bag. But ideally I don't want to due to delayed or lost luggage issues.
-
I have flown twice with 4 pens, for myself and my husband. No issues. I told TSA I had refrigerated meds in a cooler pack. That was it. No questions.
@jackiee I have traveled recently as well with a couple of pens in a cooler pack. Didn't specifically say anything, but the "sharps" container included likely gave all the explanation needed. Not even a question about them.

I don't know any insulin names... going GLP route has saved from that knowledge. heheI have extra non disposable pens. If you want one I'll mail it to you with a pack of cartridges. Just pay me back for the shipping. Message me if you do.

I take everything in my carry on, with ice packs and never been questioned by TSA and don't even let them know I have meds in my carry on. But this year I've only done domestic travel, no international so far with peps.
