Type 2 Trulicity

Advice please on travelling -

I am going to be travelling by air for a minimum of 36 hours in December. Can anyone advise me how I can keep the medication cool during that period. I have a small container with coolers, but that only works for about 24 hours. Will airlines normally store meds in onboard fridges?

Many thanks for advice

you could email the airline and ask or if booked via travel agent ask them to ask on your behalf regarding the fridge.

you can buy a really small usb powered mini fridge which holds pretty much 2 330ml. using a small powerbank some airlines only allow 10000mah that could be a potential solution for carry on hand luggage you'd need to ask airline that too i guess?

How long are you going to be away for @Lennondayz ?

The user instructions say the pens can be kept out of the fridge for 14 days ...

These highlights do not include all the information needed to use TRULICITY safely and effectively. See full prescribing information for TRULICITY.TRULICITY (dulaglutide) injection, for subcutaneous useInitial U.S. Approval: 2014

• You may store your Pen at room temperature below 86°F (30°C) for up to a total of 14 days.

The way that is worded suggests to me that you might be fine with taking it out of the fridge for a couple of days and then putting it back in, but maybe you could ask your pharmacist?

I've got a Frio pouch that's the same size as a standard pencil case that works well, although I've never taken it on a flight
