“I brought a Tupperware with meds in my checked bag. No problem”

“It should not be a problem at all as long as you have prescription and its your own use only.”

“No, but best to take any documentation as well (the boxes the meds come in, perscription, doctors notes etc.) just to be on the safe side.”

“Travelled to many countries including extensively in the middle east, I always take a 3 month supply with me, not once have I been questioned”
