How to Keep Your Medication Cold While Travelling — Without the Stress

Travelling with Medication Can Be Tricky

Whether you're managing diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, fertility treatments, or another health condition, travelling with temperature-sensitive medications can be a real challenge.

Medications like insulin, Ozempic, Trulicity, Humira, Enbrel, and many vaccines or injectables must be kept within a safe 2–8°C range. If exposed to heat or left unrefrigerated, they can lose their effectiveness — and that can impact your health. So how do you keep them cool when you're out of the house, on a flight, or staying at a hotel?

Why the Right Temperature Matters

Fridge-stored medications aren’t just cold for comfort — they’re cold for a reason. Exposure to temperatures above or below the recommended range (often 2–8°C) can cause:

• - Loss of potency (which may not be visible)
• - Wasted doses and missed treatments
• - Increased health risks from improper dosing

That’s why it’s critical to protect the cold chain — even outside the pharmacy, clinic, or hospital.

Real-World Problem, Simple Solution

Fridges aren’t always available when you need them.

Hotel minibars can be unreliable.

Flights and airports are unpredictable.
