Going abroad, medication??

Question

My partner is on medication for back problems, problem is we are going abroad soon and i don't know if he can take these tablets with him, they are dihydrocodeine,amitriptyline and diclofenac. Can anyone advise and what i can do, were going to Tenerife.

Answer 1

anything with controlled drugs and that includes codeine MUST have a letter from the doctor saying what they are prescribed for and that he's fit to fly.

certain drugs such as codeine and anti-viral drugs cannot be taken into the US no matter what. so lucky its teneriffe.
