View Full Version : Travelling with non prescribed meds

I have some liquid drops, of which I orally need about 12 drops a week. Let's say about 2 ML for the whole trip. Without going into detail it's one of the supplements body builders sometimes use. I don't have a prescription which is required to buy from a pharmacy, but isn't controlled like barbiturates or worse.

Any ideas on how to transport it so it doesn't attract attention? Doesn't need to be refrigerated and am happy for it to go in checked baggage. Just don't want to be stopped at customs with some awkward questions.

I also have injectable meds that I *do* have a prescription for. One small reusable vial of the med and I'll probably take 3-4 needles plus prep pads. I suppose if it's all bundled together it would look less of a problem.

If it a small vial you shouldn't worry about it especially the size of eye dropper. But if it is a lot of liquid then you will have issues traveling with it. In regards to injections since it is sharp object you have no choice to have prescription with you. Pills you can just put in any prescription bottle or some candy box like altoids, mints, etc.

Thanks, Dynolas. It comes in a 30 ML bottle but your mention of an eye dropper reminded me of a suitable 5 ML bottle.
