It is my son that uses it, the cold packs that came with it started leaking very soon, but with other cold packs it lasts about 6 hours

I flew to England with it and put my pens in there, the ice pack I used kept it cold for 8 hours, on the way back they kindly put it in there fridge. I love it.

I'm afraid I can't tell you: I use the tote to keep other things cold and have never timed how long it has done so.

The insulin pens stay cool up to 12 hours. My husband also uses the cold blocks you can purchase at many drug stores. As the gel pack started to leak.

Soak them in water for 20 to 30 minutes. Then freeze them until frozen solid. They work wonderfully. I use them for physical therapy, since they retain the cold for 4-5 hours.

I have the Frio which is basically the same thing. It does keep insulin adequately cool for a long time (2 plus days) via evaporative cooling. I trust it completely. It is a much better solution than using ice. Enjoy it!

What little bit of moisture there might be doesn't effect my insulin vials or syringes.

Comes with one good size freeze pack that will keep your pens cool for 8 - 10 hours!

I have used the case several times and have never experienced any insulin freezing inside the case regardless of the amount of insulin left in the vial.

Though the ice pack in the pouch is only separate by a thin piece of polyester fabric, it will not freeze your insulin.

It will store two insulin pens with the caps off. I've done that. I've had two Novolog pens in mine without problems.

I can tell you that an insulin pen is 6" long and 1/2" in diameter. You can compare that to the HGH pen and see if they are similar. By the way, the smallest Frio container holds two pens so even if your pen is 8" long, it will still fit at a diagonal. Hope this helps you.

The pack comes with great instructions. You can freeze or just refrigerate the pack. If you freeze it you can take it out well before you use it and let it thaw a bit. What you do depends on the requirements of your Meds. I doubt that it will freeze your meds. Get a cheap thermometer and check the temps after freezing and is if it gets to cold for your meds. I use it for insulin and haven't had any issues.

I keep mine in a drawer at room temperature (70 degrees F), which seems to work out fine and keep its potency. Avoid temperatures above 80F. Remember that there's "good little critters" in the pills that don't like temperature extremes.

I use this in my daughter's lunch box and nothing in there needs to stay really cold. She eats only a few hours after it is packed. I can tell you that it is not still cold when she gets home about eight hours later. If these were used with the lunch bags that go in the freezer (which don't even require a cold pack) I have no doubt that everything inside would remain cold all day!

We place frozen ice packs in the Tote for very short executions out of the house. So that the ice pack does not melt in the Tote, we will store the Tote, along with the ice pack and insulin, in refrigerator. Not sure if this is answering your question, but obviously you do not want to freeze the insulin.

I would leave medicine in this after the pack being frozen for at least 5 to 7 hours traveling on a plane, the medicine would still be cold.

Yes, works very well. I use it all of the time in Singapore, where it is hot. I don't have to worry about my insulin while at work, since there isn't a fridge. I just use this in my purse and the pouch stays cool for a few days without putting it back in the fridge.

If you keep your cold packs on the frig and not the freezer you won't have any freezing problem. I have immunology serums that I keep for a trip that involves an overnight stay and the serums are still cool when I'' able to put them back in my frig.
