What should you do if you travel with Wegovy?
When travelling with Wegovy, keep pens in the original carton and protect them from light. Store them in a fridge at 2–8°C where possible, or at up to 30°C for a maximum of 28 days if refrigeration isn’t available, then discard after 28 days out of fridge storage. For UK air travel, carry Wegovy in hand luggage (not checked bags) with any needles, and be ready to show it at security alongside prescription details or a doctor’s note if requested; UK rules allow essential medicines in hand luggage. Avoid extremes of temperature: do not freeze, do not let pens get hotter than 30°C, and check the solution is clear and colourless before use—discard if cloudy or with particles. Consider an insulated cooling case for journeys, and plan dosing around time zones so the weekly dose remains on the same day. If travelling longer than 28 days without reliable refrigeration, arrange an appropriate supply plan with a clinician in advance.
