If you're on TRT or any other prescribed medication, traveling—whether abroad or within the UK—just takes a little extra planning. Different countries and airlines have their own rules about carrying medication, so it’s always best to be prepared. With a few simple steps, you can make sure your trip goes smoothly.
Before you travel
✅ Check the rules – Every country has different regulations when it comes to prescription medication. A quick check before you travel can help you avoid any surprises.
✅ Bring the right Documents – Carry a copy of your prescription, and if needed, request a travel letter from your doctor. You can easily do this through your Leger dashboard.
✅ Pack wisely – Keep your medication in its original packaging with clear labelling—this helps avoid any issues at security.
While you’re Traveling
✈️ Keep it with you – Always store your medication in your hand luggage so it doesn’t get lost or exposed to extreme temperatures.
⏳ Adjusting for time zones – If you're flying long-haul, plan how to space out your doses so you don’t miss one.
💉 Bringing injections? – If you use injectable TRT, most airlines allow syringes with a prescription, but it’s always good to check their policy before you fly.
When you Arrive
🛡 Store It properly – Some medications need to be kept cool, so check if your accommodation has a fridge or a safe spot for storage.
📞 Be prepared – In case of lost luggage or delays, look up local pharmacies or clinics just in case you need a backup plan.
