Travel kit builder
Tell it what you carry and where you are going, and it builds the list — storage, sharps, paperwork, screening and food for the travel day.

Your context
Two optional answers. They decide which boundary this page shows you, never what a label says. Stored in this browser only, and erasable on your device page.
Applies toUnited States FDA labels. Every storage line we publish is transcribed from the brand's own US prescribing information, with that document's revision date beside it.
Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved products, so there is no approved label for us to quote (FDA, Compounding and the FDA: Questions and Answers, 2025). Follow the storage instructions from the pharmacy that compounded yours, and ask them anything this page does not answer.

What your label saysStorage for Ozempic — Single-patient-use pen (multiple weekly doses)
- Before first use
- Refrigerate at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) until the expiration date. Do not store in the freezer or directly next to the refrigerator's cooling element. Keep the pen in its original carton until you use it.
- After first use
- The pen can be kept for 56 days, either at controlled room temperature 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F) or refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Keep the pen cap on when it is not in use, and store it with no needle attached.
- Room temperature
- 56 days after first use, at 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F)
- Freezing
- Do not freeze. If it has been frozen, do not use it — check with your pharmacist.
- Light
- Protect from excessive heat and sunlight. Keep in the original carton until the time of administration.

What actually catches people out
Rarely the medication itself. It is the cooler that froze it, the sharps container nobody planned for, the label left at home, and the eight-hour travel day with no protein in it. Those four are why the list exists.
What this tool will not do
- No dosing, ever. It will not tell you how many doses to bring, when to take one, or how to handle a time zone change. Those answers depend on your medication and your prescriber, and getting them from a website would be a bad idea even if we were willing to give them.
- Never decant, never unlabel. The original carton and its pharmacy label are what identify the medication to a security officer, a pharmacist or a clinician. Moving it into a pill organiser or a nicer case without the label is how a simple conversation at a checkpoint turns into a long one.
- Storage rules are specific to the brand and the presentation. A pen, a KwikPen, a vial and a tablet are not interchangeable on this point, and there is no single temperature rule that covers all of them. We quote the wording and date it; your own carton leaflet is the version that governs.
- Security and customs rules change and vary by country. Check the current guidance for the airports and borders you are actually using rather than trusting a checklist item.
- Products are researched and compared from specs, labels and owner reviews. We do not test cooling cases in a lab, and no case here is claimed to protect a medication’s potency.
