icedragon Ex Member	Re: Airlines and imitrex injectors? Reply #6 - Feb 16^th, 2009 at 10:37am I just took mine as a carry on for the first time last month. Just tell them at the first podium. They will even visually inspect it if you don't want it going through the X-ray. Here is a link. Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to or

I couldn't agree more, with the above statement!

I carry a pack in my pocket, and another in my carry on bag. That way I know I have four full shots with me at all times.

I have never been questioned or had any problem with them. I have even flown over to and around Europe with them, with no problem. NEVER questioned about them.

CAUTION: Do NOT smoke when using or around oxygen. Oxygen can permeate your clothing or bedding. Wait, before lighting cigarette or flame.

Keep fire extinguisher available, and charged.

Just be sure to have it with RX labels and I'd inform them before they question you about it. Be proactive.

Reply #10 - Feb 19^th, 2009 at 10:25am You should have no problem as long as you have the scripts on the package. Keep medications in the origional packaging. I have gone through security with the vials of trex and syringes in my camera bag. (I don't use autoinject) and I have never had a problem. -P.

Reply #11 - Feb 20^th, 2009 at 7:23am I've flown many times with the auto injects, or vials and syringes, or nasal sprays in my laptop bag. Just make sure they are labeled with your script, you should have no problems. I never even got asked about them.
