Best Answer
I've got a lot of prescription medicine that I take, and I travel all over the world. In general:
- it needs to still be in the pharmacy containers
- it should be sealed
- if it's liquid, you may need to declare it at security, before boarding the plane, and show evidence that it's medicinal
- always bring the prescription with you as evidence that a doctor has ordered it for you
- I usually carry a summary of my medical conditions, as described by a doctor. However I think I've only ever used it once and that wasn't in an airport / on a plane.
There's very few prescription drugs that a country won't let you bring in, as long as you have the evidence for this being necessary for your condition, and evidence that it's been prescribed.
