Do I need a doctor's note for bringing medication on an airplane?
I am flying Croatia–Japan and I was curious how to go about bringing medication on board. I'm taking my prescription allergy medicine, which is basically just bilastine tablets and fluticasone furoate nose spray. They're in the original packaging.
Do I need a doctor's note? Do I carry it in my carry-on baggage or somewhere else?
Best Answer
I have read the website of three various countries and the warnings about bringing prescription medication into Japan: UK, US, and Australia. They all essentially say that Japan has a strict drug policy. Up to a 1 month supply is allowed for acceptable drugs, while others (even over the counter medications) are strictly prohibited. I would recommend contacting the Japanese embassy in Croatia or that serves Croatia to confirm.
