Travel Sharps Container
 

Due to the wonderful health "insurance" at Delta, I now have to travel with neddles, a vial and sharps container.

Drug I've been on for years, no longer covered in FAA acceptable dose. (But a 4x higher dose is covered, go figure), only covered options are all intramuscular injectable type. 22g needles. Oh joy.

Too damn expensive to buy cash even though Optum was paying 1/8th of what Id have to pay. ($2200/mo)

Anyone have a recommendation that fits in the luggage works "lunchbox"?

Truck keys next to needles for size reference. I only need to carry 2 or 3.

Vial is small. Size of truck key fob.

Sharps containers are just about everywhere if you look. Hotels, airports, stores, etc. Usually in public rest rooms. I'd skip carrying a sharps and just start looking for sharps locations. If you can't find one, ask someone who works there. Worst case, you repack some used needles for disposal when you find a sharps container.

I don't have experience with having to use sharps containers but my wife has an injectable migraine medication and I have to inject her.

Cap the needles, unscrew them from the used syringe and put them in a small screw top vial. If you are the only one who has used them they aren’t a particular hazard to you. The used syringes fit nicely in a ziplock sandwich bag. Dump them in a real sharps container at your leisure.

An old pill or tablet container works just fine for needle storage until you're able to dispose.

did you check the prescription price using GoodRX?
