Yes, this is permissible, it is a completely common practice, as there are no restrictions on transporting medications in hand luggage to/from Austria. But to avoid problems, you need to follow a few simple but strict rules.

The customs service of Austria and other countries monitors the import of medicines into the territory, and here is what you need to know so that your baggage and hand luggage do not lead to additional checks:

  • Medications for personal use. You can carry a reasonable amount for the duration of the trip.
  • Keep in original packaging. This is the most important rule. Blister packs, bottles, and package inserts must be from the manufacturer. Loose pills in a bag will immediately raise suspicions.
  • A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the medication is prescription, especially with strong effects, psychotropic, or containing hormones, be sure to bring a prescription or medical certificate stamped. Preferably, the document should be in English. This will confirm that the drugs are intended for your personal use and not for sale.

Also remember the main restriction for carrying in hand luggage: transporting liquids in containers larger than 100 ml in hand luggage is not allowed, this category includes cream-like products, ointments, toothpaste, and similar items. 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, so as not to accidentally exceed the hand luggage allowance for your plane ticket. Typically, you are allowed to carry items in hand luggage with a total weight of up to 7 kg, but this norm may differ among different airlines and specific fares, so check it according to your ticket before the trip.
