Traveling with humira. How long will it stay cold

[Mtx]

I'm heading out of town tomorrow. I will need to take one humira pen with me. I will be in the car around 4 1/2 hours. I do have the travel kit provided by Humira.
Does anyone know if it will stay cold that long with the cold packs in the travel case? The information in the case said it would stay cold only 2 hours.
Thanks in advance for any advice

Yeah, I was gonna say 2 hours too. Maybe ring the company about what you can do.

I contacted the company that supplies me with Humira about this once. I accidentally left my pen out for most of the day, and they still said it was fine, and that they're made to last much longer without refrigeration now.

That said, it's still probably safest to check with your supplier.

I posted that on another thread earlier this year so It's a copy/paste:

I will only share with you what I recently read on the Humira Progress website (canadian support program from Abbvie). Dr.Who recently posted the link so I went on and looked at the FAQ's after he mentioned on a post that the medication could remain out of the fridge for a period of 14 days :O (Say what!!)

Surprisingly enough, it is actually the information they provide on their website. It clearly say that the product should remain between 2-8Celsius in the refrigerator but that if needed, the product can be remain out of the fridge (up to 25 Celsius at the most) for a single period of 14 days. If it was out of the fridge, it NEEDS to be used within a 14 days even if it is put back in the fridge.

Just as psycho jane writes
I got my first humira this week and the info that I got was that it keeps max 14 days outside the fridge. (even though you would put it back...) But it was best kept in the fridge at all times up to use.
Very good when you have to go out travelling!
