Hi Georgios! Traveling with biologics for psoriasis can be challenging, but it's definitely possible with some planning. Here are some tips from my knowledge base to help you and your partner:

1. Use a Portable Cooler: Invest in a high-quality portable cooler or medical-grade travel cooler to keep the medication at the required temperature.

2. Plan Ahead: Research and book accommodations that offer refrigeration options. Many hotels and hostels can provide a mini-fridge upon request.

3. Talk to Your Doctor: Consult with your partner's dermatology provider. They can offer advice on managing the medication during travel and may provide a travel letter explaining the need for refrigeration.

4. Check Airline Policies: Contact airlines in advance to understand their policies on carrying medication and using coolers. Some airlines may allow you to use their onboard refrigeration.

5. Stay Informed About Local Resources: Identify pharmacies and medical facilities at your destinations that can store or provide emergency medication if needed.

6. Join Support Networks: Engage with communities like MyPsoriasisTeam to get advice and support from others who have traveled with biologics.

By following these steps, you can make your travel plans a reality while ensuring your partner's medication is properly managed. Safe travels!
