Trulicity trip sheet: pens, dose days and airport papers
Plan the doses that fall during your trip, count each pen's days out of the fridge, and pack the papers TSA and CDC mention, so you can travel without guessing at the gate or in a new time zone.

- Prescriber contact details, and a letter if my destination asks for one
What the label, TSA and CDC say
- Label: keep pens in the refrigerator at 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C); each pen may spend a total of 14 days at room temperature, not above 86°F (30°C).[1]
- Label: you can move your weekly injection day if the last dose was 3 or more days before the new day.[1]
- TSA: tell the officer about medically necessary liquids before screening begins.[2]
- CDC: across time zones, take medicines by the time since your last dose, not the local time of day.[3]
- CDC: many countries allow a 30-day supply of certain medicines but want a prescription or medical certificate with it.[3]
- CDC: take enough medicine for the whole trip, plus extra in case of delays.[3]

Get help where you are
- Swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, trouble breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching, fainting or feeling dizzy, or a very fast heartbeat: stop Trulicity and get medical help right away.[1]
- Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea that does not go away: tell your healthcare provider right away. Losing fluids this way can lead to kidney problems.[1]
