Mounjaro
Whether you’re jetting off for summer holidays, heading home for Eid, or travelling for business, many people ask: “Can I take my Mounjaro pens with me when travelling?”
The short answer is yes — but there are a few important rules to follow to keep your medicine safe and effective.
At PPRX Online Pharmacy, we support thousands of patients across the UK and overseas. Here’s our complete pharmacist-approved guide on travelling confidently with Mounjaro (tirzepatide), including how to store it, pack it, and use it abroad.
Can You Travel with Mounjaro Pens?
Yes. Mounjaro pens are portable and safe to take with you when travelling by car, train, or plane.
You’ll just need to follow simple cold-chain storage and documentation steps.
Mounjaro is stable at room temperature for a limited time, but it’s best kept refrigerated (between 2°C and 8°C) before use.
How to Pack Mounjaro for Travel
1. Use a Travel Cool Bag or Insulated Pouch
- Keep your pens cold using a small insulated travel case with a cooling gel pack.
- Don’t place pens directly against frozen ice packs — wrap them in a soft cloth to prevent freezing.
- Avoid checked luggage on flights — always carry your pens in hand luggage.
2. Bring Your Travel Letter
When you buy from PPRX, we can provide a travel letter confirming that your Mounjaro pens are prescribed, temperature-sensitive medication.
This letter helps with:
- Airport security
- Airline staff
- Customs officials
➡️ Request a Travel Letter (only for PPRX patients)
3. Keep Everything Together
- Store pens, needles, and the travel letter in one pouch.
- Include a small sharps container or sealable bag for used needles.
4. Check Airline Rules
Most airlines allow injectable medicines in cabin bags. Still, always check their medical policy before flying.
How Long Can Mounjaro Stay Unrefrigerated?
Mounjaro can be stored at room temperature (up to 30°C) for a maximum of 21 days.
This means short holidays or weekend trips are easy — you can keep your pen with you and use it as normal.
For longer trips:
- Keep spare pens refrigerated whenever possible (hotel mini-fridge or portable cooler).
- If travelling somewhere very hot, avoid direct sunlight or leaving pens in cars.
Injecting While Travelling
Mounjaro is injected once per week — so travelling doesn’t usually interrupt your routine.
Pharmacist tips for travellers:
- Stick to your usual injection day and time (set a reminder).
- Find a private, clean space to inject — hotel bathroom or bedroom is ideal.
- Wash or sanitise your hands before use.
- Dispose of needles safely in a sharps bin or sealable plastic container.
If crossing time zones, aim to keep roughly the same time gap between doses (about every 7 days).
Ordering Mounjaro for Delivery While Abroad
If you’re visiting or temporarily staying in the UK, PPRX can deliver directly to:
- Hotels and serviced apartments
- Workplaces or relatives’ homes
- Short-term rentals (Airbnb, etc.)
Our pharmacists can also issue a travel letter and arrange same-day dispatch for orders placed before 3 pm.
