Travelling with Rebif

 

Easily order your travel supplies online and they will be shipped to you shortly after placing your order.

 

Here are some tips to help ensure your trip runs smoothly:

• Gather together all the supplies you’ll need for your trip.
• Your Rebif starter kit includes a Rebif travel cooler bag so you can keep your medication cool while you are on the go. It’s also a good idea to use a separate bag to carry the rest of your injection supplies.
• Ensure that you travel with your medication in its original box (with prescription label visible), so that you have proof it was purchased from a pharmacy.
• Plan for enough medication to last a week longer than your trip, just in case you have any travel delays.
• If you are visiting a country with a hot climate, keep your medication in a cool place, stored in a refrigerator at a temperature between 2°C and 8°C. It can also be stored at room temperature (≤25ºC) for up to 30 days.

 

Travelling by plane:

• Pack your medication in your carry-on luggage so airport x-ray machines will not damage it.
• Transport your medication in the travel cooler bag that you received in your starter kit.
• If travelling overseas or to a country in a different time zone, take note of the time difference so that you can keep your injection schedule on track.
• Check with CATSA (Canadian Air Transport Security Authority) www.catsa.gc.ca for any additional up-to-date travelling details.

 

Travelling by vehicle:

• Keep your medication in a cool, climate-controlled area of the vehicle.
• In order to make sure your medication does not get damaged, do not leave it:
  • On the dashboard
  • In the glove box
  • In the trunk
  • In a parked vehicle
