All my other tablets for the 2 weeks were in my wife's handbag simply for the reason, if case lost I'd be stuffed without medication. Who has told you that you can't take in hand luggage.

Kidorry Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I went away for 7 weeks and took all my tablets in my hand luggage without a problem.Just take the prescription with you to prove that they are for her use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francypants Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 You are allowed to carry medication in your hand luggage. My husband is insulin dependent diabetic and has to inject himself before every meal. After 9/11 and when the stricter controls came into force I thought we may have a problem with taking his needles etc on board. I got a letter from the GP confirming what medication my husband needed and never had any problems at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I1L2T3 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Tablets can just go in in the bag. No probs. They ain't going to explode or anything. If the inhalers are less that 100ml liquid each you can pop them in the resealable liquids bag. And just take copies of the prescriptions in case any issues - these would be good to bring anyway if you need to get more meds while there. And have a great holiday!

Some countries namely Islamic ones will not allow certain drugs/tablets etc through customs. I found this out from a friend who went to Abu dhabi and Saudi. They confiscated his meds upon arrival and after 3 days he had to be flown home on a stretcher. Everywhere else seems ok though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
