Travelling With Humira

IPlease help. In 5 weeks I'm taking an extended motoring holiday of Europe and will sometimes not have refrigeration available. I need a method which does not involve ice of keeping my humira syringes between 3-8degrees for up to 24hrs. I've spoken to Abbott Australasia reps twice and was extremely disappointed that they could not advise me on how to successfully travel with humira :) for this period of time.

From other internet sites, I was recommended FRIO travel wallet/pack but it seems FRIO doesn't achieve 3-8degrees. I can't be the only one to have this problem. Any and all advice very welcome.
Many thanks
Annie

I'm sorry about the problems you are having, but in reality planning such travel and trying to keep a medication at precise temperatures really isn't very practical.

The only solution I can really think of would be to try to order one of the batter powered coolers that they sell for camping and such. You could probably also get some spare batteries. It is going to require a monetary investment, but there aren't many other options.

Learn more Humira details here.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?
