Question

Are you allowed to take medication or diabetic supplies as take on baggage when flying to Europe?

Answer 1

You can take ANY medication with you if you have a valid prescription for it AND need it during the flight/shortly afterward. Diabetic supplies are a common example. It's a good idea to take them in a clear plastic bag and /or offer them for inspection. Also you're usually asked to carry on what you might need during the duration of the trip,( plus a little more in case you baggage gets misplaced!)

Cheers!

Answer 2

i think so but you might have to bring a doctors note. i suggest you call the airline you are flying on and ask.

Answer 3

I'm guessing you have never been to Europe or left the country before, because you would know that you can take ANY prescription medication with you... BUT... you need to have a COPY of the prescriptions WITH you... which is just common sense... you NEVER travel outside the U.S. without having copies of ALL prescriptions...even for medicines you don't normally take or have with you on that trip..  even ones for eyeglasses... it can save your life.

The names of prescription medications is usually different from country to country and, they won't be able to know what you are talking about if you tell them "I take a pink pill every morning"... because, in THEIR country it may be a yellow pill and you take it every other day.
