Traveling by plane with myeloma medications takes a bit of planning, but it's very manageable! Here are some key tips:

Keeping Medications Organized
- Keep prescription medications in their original labeled containers — this is strongly recommended for air travel, especially through security
- A daily pill organizer can be used alongside original containers, but having the original bottles available helps TSA and customs verify your medications
- Carry a printed medication list from your doctor, including drug names, doses, and your diagnosis

Packing Tips
- Always pack medications in your carry-on bag, never checked luggage — bags can get lost or exposed to extreme temperatures
- Bring more medication than you think you'll need in case of travel delays
- Ask your doctor for a travel letter listing all your medications

At the Airport
- Inform TSA agents about your medications before screening
- Liquid medications are generally allowed beyond the usual liquid limits with proper documentation One MyMyelomaTeam member shared that they chose not to travel by plane at all due to health concerns, opting for car travel instead — stopping every couple of hours to walk and stretch. It's worth weighing what works best for your situation and comfort level.
