GLP-1 Medication Travel Kits to transport your Medication

Complete kits for traveling with GLP-1 Medications

Medactiv has positioned itself as a world leader in the development of transport solutions for temperature-sensitive medications. Working with pharmaceutical companies worldwide, Medactiv has developed novel solutions for many pharmaceutical drugs.

Designed to give users the freedom to travel knowing that their medication is kept at exactly the right temperature including Ozempic the prescription drug that's used in people with type 2 diabetes.

Ozempic and other medications need to be stored between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius to ensure they maintain clinical efficacy, to preserve shelf life, or to prevent degradation into potentially toxic breakdown products.

2-8 degree Celsius refrigerators guarantee a constant temperature to protect the integrity of sensitive products. Specific pharmaceutical products can't cope with the effect of wide temperature variations, and these controlled-temperature units are specifically designed to store highly-sensitive products efficiently.

While driving or traveling on a plane, you should store unopened Ozempic pens in a Medactiv cooler bag which will keep the temperature at 2-8 degree Celsius trip.

The Medactiv complete GLP-1 Travel Kit 24 hour includes:

• MedActiv's iCool Prestige, an isothermal bag that keeps your daily medication between 2 to 8°C for 24 hours
• MedActiv's EasyBag Single, is an isothermal bag that keeps your medication between 16 and 25°C.

The Medactiv complete GLP-1 Travel Kit 36 hour includes:

• MedActiv's Medicube, an isothermal bag that keeps your medication between 2 and 8°C for 36 hours, for those long car trips
• MedActiv's EasyBag Classic, an isothermal bag that keeps your daily medication between 16 and 25°C. Working with just fresh water, the EasyBag Classic is for when you take daily excursions and need to take your medication with you

Suitable for Ozempic or any other GLP-1 medications

How to Store GLP-1 Medications When Travelling

GLP-1 Traveling made lighter with Medactiv

Travelling with medications such as Mounjaro, Wegovy, Ozempic, Trulicity or Saxenda requires some planning, particularly when your journey involves flights, long drives, hot weather or extended periods away from refrigeration.

Most injectable GLP-1 are normally stored in a refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C before use.

However, many of these medications can also be kept outside the refrigerator for a limited period, provided they remain below the maximum temperature specified by the manufacturer.

The important point is that the permitted time outside refrigeration is different for each medication — and sometimes different between presentations of the same medication.

Always check the current Australian Consumer Medicine Information (CMI) supplied with your medication before travelling.

GLP-1 medication storage guide – Australia

1. Keep the medication within its permitted room-temperature range

If the manufacturer’s instructions allow your medication to remain outside refrigeration, a cooling solution such as the Medactiv EasyBag Single or EasyBag Classic may be suitable for helping protect it from higher surrounding temperatures.

2. Maintain refrigerated transport between 2°C and 8°C

If you want to maintain the normal refrigerated storage temperature during your journey, select a medication transport bag designed for 2°C to 8°C for the complete travel period.

For example, the current Australian CMI for Mounjaro KwikPen allows the pen to be kept below 30°C for up to a total of 30 days when refrigeration is not possible.

Using an EasyBag can therefore provide an additional way of protecting the medication from higher ambient temperatures while travelling within the manufacturer’s permitted unrefrigerated storage period.

For travelers who want to maintain normal refrigerated storage conditions, the iCool Prestige and LifeinaBag 24 are designed to maintain medication between 2°C and 8°C for up to 24 hours under Medactiv’s standard test conditions.

It is important to calculate your complete door-to-door journey, rather than only the scheduled flight time.

Long-haul journeys from Australia to destinations such as Europe, Africa or North America can easily exceed 24 hours door-to-door.

For longer journeys, Medactiv provides 36-hour refrigerated transport options.

iCool MediCube Compact – up to 36 hours at 2°C to 8°C

The iCool MediCube Compact provides additional refrigerated duration while remaining a practical size for travelling with medication.

For air travel, temperature-sensitive medication is generally best kept with you rather than placed in checked luggage.

This allows you to monitor and protect your medication throughout the journey and avoids the uncontrolled temperatures that may occur during baggage handling.

Keep your medication in its original labelled packaging where practical and carry documentation relating to your prescription, particularly when travelling internationally.

Airline and airport security requirements can vary, so check the requirements applying to your journey before departure.

Choosing the right Medactiv medication cooler

A useful way to choose your travel solution is to start with the total time your medication needs protection.
