How do you travel with frozen medication?

As long as you can insulate them with ice, they will work. Next, ice packs can be added. If it is easier to use a gel ice pack, the Transport Security Administration allows for them as long as they are presented frozen solid during declaration. The cooler bag should be taken with you with your carry-on luggage.
