My experience was the same as everyone else’s. No problems what so ever. Enbrel gave me an insulated bag with an ice pack and I used that. It’s kind of big so I didnt even need to wrap the Enbrel. My doc gives me a letter certifying that the drugs (I was more nervous about my injectable MTX, pain pills and muscle relaxers.) are mine and I kept everything but Enbrel in their original pill containers and then transferred them to my weekly box when I got there. TSA didn’t even ask for the letter. I carry it all on car trips too- last thing I would want would be to get pulled over for something minor and have them think I was doing something illegal.

I”ve done the same with no problems what so ever. Just let TSA know you have medication in there. I carry a Dr. note just to be safe but have never had to use it.

Me too, Marianne. Extra measure, just in case.

yes, I did similar. I also got a letter from my doc to certify the drugs were mine and that they needed to be refrigerated.
