Yes, it is permissible; this is absolutely normal practice, as there are no restrictions on carrying medicinal drugs in hand luggage to/from Argentina. But to avoid questions, you need to follow a few clear but mandatory rules.

Border control in Argentina and other countries monitors the import of medicines, and here's what you need to know so that your checked baggage and hand luggage do not provoke unnecessary suspicion:

  • Medications for personal use. It is allowed to carry the necessary amount for the duration of the trip.
  • Keep in original packaging. This is the main condition. Blister packs, containers, and usage instructions must be factory-made. Loose drugs in a bag will lead to immediate questions.
  • A doctor's prescription is your key document. If the medication is prescription-based, especially potent, psychotropic, or hormonal, be sure to bring a prescription or doctor's note with a stamp. It's better if it is translated into English. This will confirm that the medications are prescribed for your personal use, not for sale.

Also, don't forget the main restriction for transport in the cabin: transporting liquid substances in containers over 100 milliliters in hand luggage is not allowed; this also includes creams, ointments, toothpaste, etc. If among your medications there are such, they need to be placed in checked baggage.

And finally, be moderate with the quantity and weight of medications to avoid accidentally violating the hand luggage allowance according to your airline ticket. Typically, it is allowed to carry items with a total weight of up to 7 kg in hand luggage, but this rule may vary among different carriers and fares, so check it based on your ticket before the trip.
