Travel with Copaxone?
Recently diagnosed with RRMS, flying to Florida next month on a 2 hour direct flight. How do I keep my medicine cold?

@pamgokey , the following is from the Copaxone website :- "For added flexibility, COPAXONE® Pre-filled syringes may be stored at room temperature, between 59°F and 86°F (15°C-30°C), for up to 1 month when travelling or when refrigeration isn't available."
@pamgokey, I travel with a small reusable ice pack, in a small case, with my rebif, which has the same refrigeration rules as copaxone. I always keep it in my carry on bag, and I do not put it in the overhead bins, I don’t trust the temperature regulation there. I also always warn the TSA before they screen me. Finally, because you are going to Florida, even though the med can take room temperature, watch out for leaving it in the trunk (boot for you Brits) or the car. And have a nice trip!
