Arthitis Travel Kits

Traveling with arthritis is sometimes a bit more difficult than with other pathologies, but with good preparation, you’ll be able to travel just about anywhere you want.

If you are travelling abroad and taking your anti TNF therapy with you it’s important to make plans to keep it at the correct temperature during the journey and at your destination. Make sure you have sufficient medication to cover the entire period you will be away.

Medactiv Australia has developed a range of of specially adapted cooler bags that keep your medication between 2 and 8°C for up to 36 hours.

The iCool bags are available in three versions, the iCool Weekender, which keeps medication between 2 and 8°C for 12 hours and holds 2 Anti-TNF pens, the iCool Prestige, which keeps medications between 2 and 8°C for 24 hours and holds up to 5 injection pens or syringes and the iCool MediCube, which keeps medications between 2 and 8°C for 36 hours and holds up to 10 injection pens or syringes.

LifeInaBox is the smallest smart fridge in the world and is an ideal solution for the secure transport of arthritis medication. Connected to a mobile phone app, it keeps medicines between 2 and 8 ° C and gives you the freedom to travel anywhere, anytime, with your medication at the right temperature.

USEFUL HINTS for transporting Arthritis medication:

Carrying copies of your prescriptions in your hand luggage will be important if you are stopped and questioned about the drugs you are carrying.

For environmental reasons, more and more hotels are using coded cards to open the doors of their rooms, and these cards are also often used as a switch to turn on and off the electricity in the room. This means that when you leave your hotel room, you take your card with you and turn off all the electricity in your room (including the little bar fridge where you keep your medications cool). To work around this problem, just use any old plastic card (a gym membership card, business card, etc.) to switch on the power in your room. Leave it permanently in the room so that the electricity stays on.

If you need to freeze the ice packs of your travel bag before leaving the hotel, the refrigerators in the hotel rooms are generally not of a very good quality and will not completely freeze your ice packs. So instead of using the bar fridge in your room, go down to the hotel bar and ask the helpful staff to freeze them for you. After all, they always need ice in bars for gin tonics and therefore have high quality freezers.
