Direct guidance

What to know or do

Before travel, ask the prescriber or pharmacist for a written timing and storage plan for the exact product. Keep medicines and documentation in hand luggage and carry enough for delays.

What changes the answer

  • Destination, pregnancy week, journey length and distance from maternity care
  • Infection, altitude, heat, food, water and blood-clot risks for that trip
  • Current symptoms, pregnancy complications, insurance and transport restrictions
