When flying with interferon, it won’t be affected by going through the x-ray machine. If you are worried about it, you can always just stick it in your pocket and walk through the metal detector. Since the horror of September 11th, it might be advisable to carry your prescription with you, as proof as to why you are carrying syringes. In order to keep the interferon cool, you can pack it in a Thermos bottle, or freeze a blue ice pack and put it into a soft thermal lunch bag, and wrap the interferon in newspaper so that it doesn’t sit directly on the ice. This should last you for a few days. Do Not put ice in a glass Thermos. It can break the glass (personal experience). If possible get a stainless steel Thermos. I don’t know if they’re as good, but they don’t break. When in a hotel you can just fill the ice bucket and then put a glass with the interferon bottles on top so if the ice melts the interferon will not get wet.
