Travelling with medication

It is essential that sufficient clotting factor is taken away to cover the entire duration of the holiday and all possible eventualities. Individuals are advised to inform airlines, ferry companies and tour operators that a member of the party has haemophilia, as they may offer special facilities such as refrigeration in transit. All medications should be carried as hand luggage. New security measures about carrying medicines on planes have come into force. Details can be found at www.haemophilia.org.uk
