Can I take Wegovy on a plane in my hand luggage?
Yes, you can take Wegovy in your hand luggage on UK and international flights. Always carry it in hand luggage rather than checked baggage to protect it from extreme temperatures that could damage it. Declare it at airport security and have your prescription or prescriber's letter ready.
Key points:
- UK airport security allows liquid medications over 100ml in hand luggage with documentation.
- Keep Wegovy in the original packaging for easy identification at security.
- Medication needles are typically allowed to be carried, but double-check with your airline.
- Use a cooling bag to maintain safe temperatures during the flight.
