Is it allowed to carry medicines in hand luggage to or from Azerbaijan?

Yes, it is permissible, this is absolutely normal practice, as there are no restrictions on carrying medicines in hand luggage to/from Azerbaijan. But to avoid any issues, you need to adhere to a few simple but strict rules.

Azerbaijan's customs and those of other countries monitor the import of medicines, and here's what you need to know so that your checked baggage and hand luggage do not lead to additional checks:

• Medicines for personal use. You can carry the necessary amount for the duration of the trip.
• Keep them in their original packaging. This is a key requirement. Blister packs, containers, and usage instructions must be from the manufacturer. Loose pills in a bag will immediately raise suspicions.
• A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the medicine requires a prescription, especially for powerful effects, psychotropic or hormonal, be sure to bring a prescription or a doctor's note with a seal. Preferably, the document should be in English. This will prove that the medicines are prescribed for your personal use, not for sale.

Also, don't forget the key rule for cabin transport: it is prohibited to carry liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 100 ml in the aircraft cabin, which also includes creams, ointments, toothpaste, etc. If your medicines include such items, they need to be placed in checked baggage.

And finally, be moderate with the quantity and weight of medicines to avoid accidentally exceeding the allowable limits for hand luggage according to your ticket. Most often, you are allowed to transport hand luggage with a total weight of no more than 7 kilograms, but this rule may vary among different airlines and tariff plans, so check it based on your flight ticket before departure.
