How do you keep medicine cold while traveling?
Keep the medication in a cooler filled with ice packs or gel packs. Ice packs or gel packs you pre-freeze are better than using just ice because they won’t turn to water and get into your medication. However, you can also use ice when needed. Put the packs into sealed freezer bags just in case they do leak.
Do prescriptions have to be in original containers when flying?
The TSA does not require you to have your medication in its original prescription bottle, so traveling with a pill case does not violate any rules. You will also generally not have to tell the officers about your medication unless it is a liquid.
