If you'll be traveling with your treatment, here are some important tips to keep in mind:

• Inform your healthcare provider of your plans and follow any instructions they may provide you
• Make a list of hospitals or Hemophilia Treatment Centers (HTCs), along with their contact information, that are along your travel route
• Keep your treatment and supplies with you at all times (for example, in your carry-on luggage). That way, you'll be able to use your items at any time on the way to your destination. Also, they'll be better protected against temperature changes, rough handling, or loss
• Pack extra medication just in case you experience a travel delay
• When going through security, carry a copy of a travel letter describing your condition and the need for your medication
• Wear a medical ID bracelet or carry a medical ID card with you at all times
• Make sure to have all treatment, supplies, and medical devices clearly labeled

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) supports and funds a national network of HTCs. Find an HTC near you.
