Issues when carrying medication on an airplane when travelling to Germany?

Accepted answer

No issues as long as you put it in your checked luggage.

Refer to Health Information for Traveler page.

Remember to pack extras of important health supplies in case of travel delays. This is especially important for items that may be difficult to get at your destination, like prescription medicines.

Note that for special medicine/equipment like Needles or syringes, you may need a letter from your doctor.

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.
