My doctor office provided a carrier.
The drug company provides them.
Call your drug company and/or doctor.
Ask them to provide one for you to travel.
If not, your local drug store will have one to sell.
My insurance probably paid a fortune for it.
Seems drug company would send u one.
Good luck

You can call the airline and ask them what the airport protocol about carrying them on the plane with you is. Just remember that they have to stay cold, so maybe you can pack them in a little lunch cooler and place them in your checked bag or carry on. I would opt for carry on cause I would hate for my bag to get lost. But the airline at the airport your flying out of will be able to tell you.
