Modification for Forteo
Cooler is very attractive and compact. I modified it slightly to hold my Forteo pen. I removed the center stitching and the stitching on the short side. This allows for a large area, underneath which the pen can rest. I put two self-adhesive Velcro "dots" in place to hold the material firmly over the pen.You DON'T want to use the case for Forteo unmodified: the partitions are too tight to insert the pen and you might pull off the cap or the priming barrel when removing it.UPDATED 10/15/17I froze the gel packs ovenight, placed them in the cooler, then put a digital thermometer probe in the place where medicine goes. The temperature rose gradually to room temp. in six hours. Since I'm going to be on a plane for 12 hours and since the cooler is too small to accept an ice bag, it won't work for my intentions. Should work great for shorter trips.

If you're just going on a quick jaunt...
...then this is not bad. If you're going on an extended trip where your travel time will be a bit longer, then you will probably need to make other arrangements.The manufacturer suggests that you not use it for longer than 6-8 hours while noting some people have suggested it will keep your meds cooler for over 8 hours. This is going to be highly variable and depend on the environment. I felt like 6 hours was stretching it based on my experience travelling internationally - luggage check-in, security, waiting to board, luggage pick-up, etc.Outside of this timeframe the product works as described and in my case did better than I expected as it held three pens - although rather tightly packed in with the needle tips, ice packs, etc.

Took this on a cross-country flight from Oregon to Florida ...
Took this on a cross-country flight from Oregon to Florida and it worked for the most part and was able to keep the medicine cold until I could put it into a refrigerator at the hotel. However, my medicine could go up to 24 hours without refrigeration before it started to degrade so it wasn't critical to keep ice cold. Normally I would guess if the included ice packs are completely frozen when inserted it would keep your meds refrigerator cold for 4-5 hours if left sitting out on a counter in a 70 degree room. Stuck in a hot car would not last that long.With that said, on our return flight from Florida to Oregon I packed it into my check-in luggage and when I got home the ice packs still had a bit of freeze left in them, and it had been nearly 13 hours. Keeping it in the insulated bowels of the aircraft I'm sure helped this a lot.
