Can I take motion sickness drugs with me that contain dimenhydratine, or can it be bought at the destination?
I have moderate motion sickness, especially in non-climatised buses, and the drugs that are working very well for me are those containing dimenhydratine.
Is this substance legal in Georgia? Can I take aboard a plane drugs such as Aviomarin? And can similar motion sickness drugs be bought when I get to Georgia (Tbilisi and other big cities)?
Best Answer
I have Aviomarine in my carry-on package with was deeply checked by security officers and it was no problem (the electronic parts - batteries etc. raised their attention).
I can also add from my experience that this drug is a must-have when you have locomotion sickness, because flight is much much worse that bus.
But on the other side: http://georgia.visahq.com/customs/
All personal medicines being imported into the country should be accompanied with a doctor’s statement to avoid being detained by the customs authorities.
So, literally reading, any medicines require doctor's statements, in practice low amount of common medicines are tolerated, but for security reason it is very good idea to go to get doctor's statements first.
