traveling with liquid medications

[anniversarycruiser40]

We will be flying from Oregon to LA to Papeete for a cruise this summer. I have to travel with a liquid syringe-type:confused: medication with very small needles. I am diabetic (it is NOT insulin). Since I am a new diabetic, are their any problems getting thru airline checks, customs, or cruise ship security? It has to be kept between 46 to 70 degree temp, otherwise it has to be in a fridge. Any suggestions would be appreciated.:)

I have had no problems with medications in addition to the plastic ziplock. TSA just waived it thru.

But in your case, given what you have described, I would do some research at the TSA site.

Thanks for your reply, but what is the TSA and what is their web site?

My husband has to travel with syringe medication that has to be kept at a certain temp. We have never had a problem with it at all. I've been very surprised, but they have never even asked to see the prescription. We carry it in a small lunch box type cooler with an icepack in it. We always have it in the box that it comes from the pharmacy in with his name and the name of the medication, but as I said they have never hassled us or even looked twice at it.

Thanks for the info. What kind of cool pack did you use? WE have a 3 hour drive to PDX, 2 hour flight to LAX, a 5 hour layover at LAX and then over 8 hour flight to Paeete. What will keep it cool for that long and where do I get the cool pack?

 

Thanks for everyone's help;)

Lots of luck finding your answer there. After all, TSA is a government agency.:rolleyes:
