Answer 1

You can take everything with you in tablet form in your hand luggage.  If it's liquid you'll need to make sure it's 150ml or under for your hand luggage and unlimited in your hold luggage.  The main exception when travelling is if you are going to the Middle East (such as Dubai) to make sure you don't take any Solpadeine as Codeine is an illegal drug there.  However since you're going to Europe you'll have no problems at all.

Answer 2

you can take tablets away but you have to have them in your hand luggage. May I advise you to take some Kaline and Morph tablets as they are brilliant with upset stomachs, sun stroke and just about anything. I don't leave the country without mine.

Answer 3

Thats fine, but your not going to need them on the plane so pack them in your suitcase.

Saves embarrasement, if they want to look into your bag at security asking you what the medication is for, ie contraception and diorrhea!

Answer 4

If you wrap them in some clingfilm and shove them up your bum,you should be able to take any sort!Only joking,all of the above are fine to take.

Answer 5

You can take any medicines abroad, so don't worry.  Just pack a few in your hand luggage and the rest in your suitcase.

If you have prescription drugs, it's usually a good idea to have the prescription with you as well, but not essential!

I would also recommend taking a few plasters, Alka-Seltzer, and headache tabs!!  We are like a mini chemist when we travel abroad!

Have a great holiday!

Answer 6

it should be ok, I taken some of these before on planes and had no problem.

Answer 7

Airport security is not so much concerned with tablets or capsules, as with liquid medicinals. So long as everything is marked with a prescription number, or you can produce a prescription from your doctor, you should have no problems. Do not carry any liquid products in your carry on bag....pack shampoos, conditioners, nail polish, etc in your check-in baggage.  In New York, recently, they were not even permitting bottles of water or fruit juice in carry-ons....but I have never had a problem, anywhere, with prescription medications.
