Why it matters
Missed doses, warm biologics or an infection far from your care team can turn a trip into a flare.
What you can do
Pack medicines in your carry-on with copies of prescriptions. Use an insulated pouch for biologics and carry a doctor’s letter for needles. Check vaccine needs early, since some vaccines are not safe on immune-suppressing treatment. Plan rest days and comfortable footwear.
Call your care team if
You develop a fever or infection while traveling. Seek care and mention your medicines.
