How does it work if you have a Rx for Test when you fly

[Havasu]

If you have a Rx for Test can you just bring your prescription and your test? Obviously you would need at least one pin for the week, and I'm assuming they would never let you carry that on, so that would have to go in checked baggage. Pins are over the counter, so is it easer to go to a pharmacy and buy the pin you need wherever you're going, and just carry your test with prescription in your carry on and declare it?

You don't have to declare your medications. You don't have to put them in a baggie either. You can take syringes (I take slin pins) in your carryon - there might be a few places where there are restrictions, but I've flown many times like this and have never had my kit commented on.

Great, so I can have my test and syringes in my carry on. It won't be a problem if I put the syringes in checked luggage though correct?

Correct. Unused syringes should be in their original packaging and used syringes should be in a sharps container. I just put the caps back on my used slin pins and call it good.

Some suggest that you alert the screeners pre-emptively, but I think that would cause more problems than it prevents - at least based on my experience. Like I said, nobody has ever asked about them and if they did I would immediately request a private screening.

I fly twice a week, carry trt deca and test with four or five pins. Never have had a problem. Just make sure you can account for it with a prescription.

I flew with only a carryon and had needles, syringes, and testosterone in my carry on. They never questioned it. Actually, on the way home, security questioned something in my carry on that they weren't sure of in the xray. It ended up being an old bible from the 1800's that's been in my family. So fwiw, needles and syringes, no problem. But carry a bible in your bag, look out! Lol

This is from the TSA - so if you are in the US, this is the info you need to follow:

Travelers with Disabilities and Medical Conditions

Diabetes-related supplies, equipment, and medication, including liquids, are allowed through the checkpoint once they have been properly screened by X-ray or hand inspection. Passengers should declare these items and separate them from other belongings before screening begins.

Liquids, gels, and aerosols are screened by X-ray and medically necessary items in excess of 3.4 ounces will receive additional screening. A passenger could be asked to open the liquid or gel for additional screening. TSA will not touch the liquid or gel during this process.

Passengers with Diabetes | Transportation Security Administration

Medically required liquids, such as medications, creams and breast milk, are permitted to be brought on board an aircraft. It is not necessary to place medically required liquids in a zip-top bag. However, travelers must tell the TSA officer at the beginning of the screening process that they wish to bring medically necessary liquids in excess of 3.4 ounces in their carry-on bag. Liquids, gels and aerosols are typically screened by X-ray and medically necessary items in excess of 3.4 ounces will receive additional screening.

Declaring Medically Necessary Liquids

Travelers who bring medically necessary liquids in excess of 3.4 ounces or medical accessories such as freezer packs, IV bags, pumps and syringes to the checkpoint must inform the TSA officer at the beginning of the screening process. TSA suggests, but does not require, medication be clearly labeled to facilitate the screening process. If a traveler does not want a medically necessary liquid to be X-rayed or opened for additional screening, the traveler must inform the officer before screening begins.
