Travelling With Mounjaro – What You Need To Know

Mounjaro is taken as a weekly injection. So, if you’re going to be away from home when your next jab is due, you’ll need to take your Mounjaro with you so you can take it as normal while you’re away.

Travelling with Mounjaro is fairly straightforward. But there are some things you need to think about before you leave home. Here, we’re taking a closer look at storing Mounjaro, flying with Mounjaro and everything else you need to know when taking this weight loss medication on holiday.

The Importance of Storing Mounjaro and Other Weight Loss Injections Correctly

Over the past few years, Mounjaro, and other weight loss injections, such as Ozempic and Wegovy, have become incredibly popular. However, like all types of medication, these weight loss injections need to be stored correctly to ensure they’re effective and safe to use.

So, what do you need to know? Ideally, Mounjaro should be kept in a refrigerator at a temperature of between 2˚C and 8˚C. It can be stored outside the fridge for up to 30 days, as long as the room temperature doesn’t rise above 30˚C.

Mounjaro also shouldn’t be frozen. If you think your Mounjaro has frozen, or been exposed to temperatures above 30˚C, it may no longer be effective and could even be unsafe to use. You’ll need to throw it away and replace it with new, doses of Mounjaro that have been properly stored.

Taking Mounjaro on Holiday

Wherever you are on your weight loss journey, you probably won’t want to take a break from Mounjaro when you’re on holiday, away for Christmas or travelling for work, because stopping your medication could stall your weight loss. This means you’ll be taking Mounjaro with you and continuing your treatment while you’re away.

Travelling with Mounjaro shouldn’t be a problem, but it does require a little planning, especially if you’re flying to your destination. One of the most important things to consider is temperature. Mounjaro shouldn’t be frozen or exposed to temperatures above 30˚C. So, you may need to keep your medication in a cool bag if you’re planning a long car journey or taking an international flight.

Rules for Flying with Mounjaro

Some countries restrict certain medications, so it’s essential to check the medical regulations in the country you’re visiting before heading to the airport.

If the Mounjaro Kwikpen is permitted at your destination, you should be able to take it on your flight without a problem. To make your journey through airport security as quick and easy as possible, keep your Mounjaro in its original packaging with the prescription label attached. It’s also a good idea to take the patient information leaflet with you to the airport.

Keep Mounjaro in your carry-on bag as checked luggage can be exposed to significant temperature variations and this can damage the quality of the medication. Place your Mounjaro and needles in a clear plastic bag when going through security. Don’t worry, scanning devices aren’t known to cause any issues with Mounjaro.

Can Mounjaro Help Me Maintain My Weight Over Christmas?

Maintaining healthy eating habits can be more difficult when you’re away from home. It can also be tough to stick to a good diet over Christmas or on other special occasions such as a holiday. As Mounjaro is designed to make you feel less hungry, it may help you to eat less when you are away. This could help to stop you over-indulging and putting weight back on.

By keeping your Mounjaro in a cool bag, storing it in its original packaging and checking the medical regulations in your destination country, you can make your travels as smooth and as easy as possible.
