Good evening,

Just wondering, if a person ever needs to travel (fly) with their b12 medication...

Is that fine? Has anyone had any issues with that?

Thank you,

S

I have flown numerous times and never had any issues. I have had my supplies in my suitcase, and also in my hand luggage.....never had a problem.

have also flown with b12 and needles etc in hand luggage, along with a travel sharps box.

Have never been challenged but keep a paper copy of the prescription in the box as well just in case.

Hi Suffering-sunny

I just flew Bristol to Edinburgh return with no problems. I had the B12 in original box and my needles etc and put them in a clear bag so took them out with all my liquids along with a letter from specialist.

There and back not mentioned or looked at even by security. As a precaution I had posted my supplies to where I was staying and so brought them back too. Best of luck and I hope you have an enjoyable trip.

🤗🤗🤗

I was just wondering how it all works when folk need to travel and have PA.

I appreciate all of this information 💛

Very similar to those who have diabetes, suffer anaphylaxis, anticoagulants etc so have to carry injectable medications, sharps boxes and needles.

I have travelled with the B12 injections/needles/syringes etc in the suitcase in their original packing, never been a problem as it clearly states on the packaging it is B12.
