Traveling and GLP1

[Anonymous]

I am only a few weeks in, and realized that I wasn’t sure how to handle travel. I am on the compounded version so I have a vial and needle. Is the needle allowed to go in my carry-on?

I could skip the shot but timing would be hard (I take the shot each Saturday and am traveling Thursday-Tuesday).

Thank you for help/suggestions from those who have BTDT.

How long do you have until you travel? If it's a few weeks, move it one day each week, so go 8 days.

I would jsut take it Tuesday night when I get back, but I can extend to about a week and a half before I feel it wearing off.

But, otherwise, check the TSA website. I'm sure there is something on it since there are medically necessary injectable meds. There have to be guidelines.

You could always split the shot and do half on Thursday and half on Tuesday when you return. I have taken the shot one day early or one day late depending on travel.

I don't travel with mine because I don't want to refrigerate or travel with my needles.

I have an insulin needle frozen pack and I travel with the vial and one syringe.

I have traveled with a needle and zepbound in my carry-on. zepbound can actually be at room temperature for 21 days so that makes it easy.

I would just wait until Tuesday, but I have traveled with it unrefrigerated

I just skip a shot when inconvenient. It doesn’t make much difference.

I will say, this is why I switched to Sunday injections because I can take it on Sunday or Monday if needed, but you can take it with you as long as you declare it to TSA and make sure it is labeled.
