Travel?

Alright folks,
Traveling out of state for a bit. I've traveled with my test a handful of times, but usually in my checked luggage. Regardless, I'm on TRT, so I'll usually just travel with my Rx. However, first time traveling with Gh. My wife is a type 1 diabetic, so we were just planning on storing a few vials with her insulin (since her insulin is stored with ice packs). I'll reconstitute at destination. Obviously, being insulin, we would have to take it in our checked luggage. I know they have no way of knowing what it is and TSA doesn't require your Rx label to be with the, but anyone with experience ever encounter any issue?

There’s always a risk when you transport items. Just decide if the worst case scenario is worth it. @SeeOhShow gave you reasonable advice, but remember anything can happen.

I have flown domestically with stuff in both carry-on luggage and checked luggage. I have a small pelican case that I throw everything in to. Vials of growth, bottle of bac water, slin pins, alcohol wipes, prefilled/capped barrels with all the gear I’ll be running entire duration of trip, and luer lock needles for all those barrels.

The only thing they have ever pulled my carry-on bag over for after it goes through screening is the package of diaper/wet wipes also in my bag for my child. They check it to make sure it’s not a hidden brick of coke. No bs.

They see so much medication run through there that it just blends in to that. Now if you start chucking 3-4 vials in there too then you might raise some attention. But a case full of insulin pins and other needles/medical supplies just looks like someone with a medical condition traveling to those TSA agents. Make it look packaged up all professional like it’s meant to be there.

This has been my experience. Dozens of domestic flights with gear.

Thanks brother! Went through without a hitch. I figured I'd be okay, but stuff like this is reassuring.

We recommend, but do not require, that your medications be labeled to facilitate the security process.
