Can I fly in non-pressurised aircraft?
If you have an implantable pump, you should not go above 2,440m (8,000 feet). This will ensure accurate drug delivery. If you plan to engage in activities above this altitude you should talk with your doctor to determine the effects of receiving more than the prescribed amount of medication. Your doctor can help determine whether you should receive a dose adjustment prior to spending time in a high-altitude environment. At high altitude, the atmospheric pressure is less than at sea level. If the atmospheric pressure decreases significantly, it could cause the pump to temporarily dispense more medication and even result in an overdose.
