Your fridge will stay cold for a while, leave door shut and cross fingers

If you have any ice, you cal always pack it in a cooler.

i don't think there is any issue unless your power is off for a week, and/or you don't plan to use those doses for a couple months. the stuff can stay in a cool room for 14 days as long as it is used by the 14th day.

Agreed that it'll be fine in the fridge if it's not for a long enough time that food starts to spoil, then I'd worry and find ice and put it in travel case they provided or a small cooler/thermo bag/container.

I travelled with humira by road across a hot country ... Medical Advise I received was to keep it as cool as possible but ultimately it would be fine for a few days out of the fridge. If it is cloudy do not use.

Which is exactly why Humira provides their patients with the cold packs and storage bags for when travelling and not having a fridge with you.
