LOS ANGELES - March 17, 2025 - PRLog -- KYO's tips for traveling with injectable medications like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) or tirzepatide (Mounjaro) will ensure your trip is smooth and stress-free.

1. Understand the Storage Requirements: Semaglutide and tirzepatide injections are temperature-sensitive and need to be stored properly to maintain effectiveness. Generally, these medications should be:
  • Refrigerated at 36–46°F (2–8°C) until use.
  • Used or stored at room temperature (up to 86°F/30°C) for a limited period, depending on the specific medication. For example, Ozempic can remain at room temperature for up to 56 days after the first use.
  • Check your medication's packaging and insert for specific storage details.

2. Pack a Travel Cooler: A compact cooler or medical-grade travel case with an ice pack is ideal for keeping your medication cool while traveling.
  • Use gel ice packs to maintain a stable temperature.
  • Wrap your medication in a protective layer to avoid direct contact with ice packs, which can cause freezing.
  • Choose a cooler with TSA-approved dimensions for carry-on luggage.

3. Keep Your Medication in Your Carry-On: Never pack your injectable medication in checked luggage.
  • The temperature in the cargo hold can fluctuate and damage the medication.
  • Keeping it in your carry-on also ensures it is easily accessible.
  • Label your cooler or case clearly with "Medication Inside" to prevent any confusion during security checks.

4. Bring Your KYO Documentation: To avoid issues at airport security, carry the following:
  • A copy of your KYO prescription.
  • The original KYO packaging of your medication.
  • TSA allows passengers to bring medically necessary liquids and injectables in carry-ons, so let the security officer know you're carrying medication.‍

5. Prepare for Delays: Travel delays are common, so plan for contingencies:
  • Pack extra supplies in case your trip extends unexpectedly.
  • Bring spare needles, alcohol swabs, and a sharps disposal container.
  • If staying in hotels, request a refrigerator in your room to store your medication.

6. Know Where to Find Replacements: If you are traveling domestically reach out to your KYO doctor thru your patient portal for support.

7. Stay Organized: Keep all medication-related items in one place, such as a dedicated travel pouch. Include:
  • Your KYO medication
  • Injection supplies
  • Documentation
  • Travel cooler

By following these KYO tips and planning ahead, you can enjoy your trip while managing your health confidently. Safe travels!
