Travelling with Your Medication
You can travel with prescription medication, including injections, as long as you follow a few important steps.

This helps to:

Store Your Medication Correctly
Temperature control is important, especially for injectable treatments.
- Use a cool bag or travel case if needed
- Avoid exposing medication to heat or direct sunlight
- Do not freeze your medication
Always follow the storage instructions specific to your treatment.
Carry Supporting Documentation
When travelling, especially internationally, you may be asked to show:
- A copy of your prescription
- A doctor’s letter (if required)
- Medication in its original packaging with dispensing label attached.
This can help avoid issues at airport security or customs.
