Medications on the road

I take a medication that is almost the same-Enbrel. My doctor told me that the refrigeration is not that critical and you can go a couple of weeks not in the fridge. I would check with your doctor on that one. Also the company I get the Enbrel from has a travel kit free of charge if needed so that's another thing I believe you should check on. I can not say for sure, because your medication is different, but you might be over zealous on your meds. Talk to the doctor. Explain what your going to go through and maybe he might have a solution to your problems. I feel that they are minor and you'll just have to change a few items around. I could be wrong because like I said before it's a different type. Also you can call the manufacture and talk to them about what you'll be going through. Good luck.

They did talk to me about the travel pack but she said it only lasts about 5 hours. Also they did said it can be at room tempature for 14 days but when I asked about being at 50 degrees for a month or so she wasn't really sure. Does anyone know how cold the coolers typicly are in case my trainer has one instead of a fridge? I looked them up and atleast the discription says 30 degrees below what it is in so I figure about 50? I will have to call the manufacture and ask how long it can be at that tempature cause it's kinda in between refridgerated and room tempature.

Yeah I am going to try and get the biggest supply I can. The normal is 4 weeks so I am going to talk with them this week and see if I can get a 6 or 8 week supply. Though it's up to the insurance company so well see how it goes. I try to eat as healthy as I can most of the time but sometimes I am not to good at that lol. As long as I take my medication and it is under control which the past 5 years it has been for the most part then I am fine. Didn't know about the heart healthy truck stop thing I will keep my eye out for that thanks! I didn't think about the company terminal that is a good idea too worst case.

Although I do not know your particular insurance plan, I have one in which I can go to the pharmacy for monthly supply, of my choosing. OR if I use the insurance company "preferred" mail-in plan, I can get more meds then my usual 30 days.

There are small (6 pack sized) mini coolers that you plug into a power socket (cigarette lighter plug). I have one, its a Coleman I believe. Put the plug in one way, it keeps food warm (not hot), and turn the plug around, and it keeps it cool, not cold..

My bad, I have an Igloo, I had to go and read the stupid label...lol

although mine DOES NOT look like this one, here is what I mean..

Just be sure to allow for air circulation.

You can check wally-world, target, k-mart, sears, or even a camping store.

A cup of ice thrown in there every day would probably keep it good. You could even use the styrofoam cooler it comes in with some ice in it and get by. PM me if you'd like.
