If you travel often, you may want to get a prescription for Genotropin Mini-Quick.  The product does not need refrigeration, though I would keep it in the fridge while at home. 

 

Mini-quick comes in single dosage needles.  You just twist the plunger and the GH disolves in the dilutent.  It comes in multiples of .2mg.

 

Of course, you can always get a specail holding container for your GH.  It contains a blue ice container and can keep medications cool for about 8 hours.  You can ask your pharmacist for one or contact the drug company directly.

Subject: [Rejuvenation] Traveling with rHGH

I do not know how I will be able to take my Saizen while traveling as
it has to be refrigerated after reconstituting. How do others solve
this problem? The 4 IU bottles are a two day dose for me - can I keep
the reconstituted product for 24 hours without refrigeration. I am
afraid of injecting spoiled product.

Also are there any side effects to stopping therapy for a few weeks
while traveling and then starting back on the old dose? Any and all
suggestions will be appreciated.

[Hello Beth.  You can keep your reconstituted Saizen (or other
brand of growth hormone) inside two or three paper bags, together
with a bag of frozen gel.  This will keep cool for about 12 hours,
then keep it in a refrigerator when you get to the end of your
journey.  In any case, I doubt very seriously that it would "spoil"
if it is not kept strictly cool... it MIGHT degrade a little bit,
ie, lose a little potency, but I don't think it would degrade enough
for you to notice a difference.

No, there are no "side effects" if you stop GH therapy a few weeks
while travelling, except you will slowly lose the benefits that
you had gained.  Think of your body as a plant, and think of
growth hormone as water for the plant... it is better to give
the plant a little bit of water every day and not let the plant
dry up for several days or weeks.  I travel very often, and I
always take growth hormone with me, just as I would be sure to
take water with me if I travelled to the Sahara Dessert.
