Hi All

i am just wondering if there is any harm of trimix vial going through airport security scanner?

will the x rays destroy the vial? do i need to request manual inspection from the airport security instead.

i am carrying trimix in 4allfamily cooler

please advise

thanks

Ask your pharmacist about this - it is their job to know - but you also have the right to ask for visual inspection instead of sending it through the x-ray.

X-rays don't have enough energy to break molecular bonds. You're ok.

They actually do. That's why people can get cancer from too many X rays.

Safest option is to ask for a visual inspection of your meds before placing on the security conveyor. This is a typical request. After they review they will hand back to you without gong thought x ray scanner.

I've done it a few times with no issues. One time they saw the needles and looked inside the carrying case but the prescription was right on the label and there were no questions asked. I think it's safe but a doc would know better than I would.

I travel with my loaded needles in a diabetic child cooler. I’ve never had a failure using these syringes. Sometimes TSA will check to make sure ice pack is still icy.
