1) Canadian Rules for Personal Medications
Canada generally permits travelers to bring a personal 90‑day supply of prescription medications when kept in original labeled containers that match your ID. Carry a doctor’s letter for injectables and keep quantities reasonable for the length of your trip.
2) Airport Screening (TSA → CATSA)
- Injectable medications, syringes, and medical liquids are allowed in carry‑on when declared.
- Cooling gel packs or ice packs are permitted if medically necessary; present them at screening.
- Keep prescriptions and a doctor’s note handy; separate medical items at security for inspection.
3) Storage, Temperature & Handling
- GLP‑1 pens / reconstituted peptides: Refrigerate 2–8 °C (36–46 °F). Do not freeze.
- Lyophilized peptide vials: Store cool, dry, and dark; refrigerate for extended trips. Freeze only when unmixed and if label permits.
- TRT (10 mL multi‑dose): Typically room temperature; avoid extremes and direct sunlight.
Use insulated cases for airport transfers and excursions. Keep vials upright and capped, and pack spare supplies in a separate kit.
4) Border Declarations (Air & Land)
At CBSA, declare injectable medications if asked, especially when carrying syringes or cooling fluids. For land crossings, keep your kit organized and visible; unlabeled or repackaged vials may be refused. Research‑only or unapproved compounds can be seized without a prescription.

6) FAQ
Can I bring syringes into Canada?
Yes — when accompanying prescription injectables. Carry them capped, in a small organizer, and present documentation.
Should I use a hotel mini‑fridge?
Yes, if it reliably stays between 3–8 °C. Otherwise, use an insulated pouch with gel packs and check temp periodically.
Do I need to declare medications at CBSA?
Declare if asked, and keep proof of prescription. Reasonable, personal‑use quantities are typically permitted.
