Check the leaflet that comes with your syringes, but I think this can be out of the fridge for 30 days. So unless you are going away from longer than that you don’t need anything.
If you are then loads of options for travel cool bags on the internet. Good ones can be expensive tho’, but really not sure you need that.
Contact whoever supplies it and ask to speak to their pharmacist. They will be able to advise how to store it whilst travelling and provide letters if needed for security and/or customs. I have done this on the past and found the pharmacist at Sciencus (previously known as Healthcare at Home) very helpful.
I bought one recently from Amazon - lots of options there . Wasn’t expensive and worked well.
Although most can be kept out of the fridge for 4 weeks, they generally need to be kept below 25 degrees. So if going somewhere hot you will still need a cool bag for them. I have this one which keeps it between the recommended 2-8 degrees, for 12hrs +. You also need a letter so you can take them on the plane, as they shouldn’t be put in the hold, due to the temperatures in there. Your rheumatologist or nurse will issue you a letter.
Have a look on Amazon. Plenty to choose from. I bought mine there and takes 4 Benipali pens
