Yes, it is allowed, this is absolutely normal practice, as there are no prohibitions on carrying medications in hand luggage to/from Belgium. But to avoid problems, you need to follow a few simple but strict rules.

Border control in Belgium and other countries monitors the import of medications, and here is what you need to know so that your items in the baggage compartment and on your person do not lead to additional checks:

  • 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 most important rule. Blister packs, containers, and usage instructions should be brand-specific. Loose medications in a bag will immediately raise suspicions.
  • A doctor's prescription is your key document. If the medication is prescription-only, especially with strong effects, affecting the psyche, or containing hormones, be sure to have a prescription or doctor's note with a stamp. Preferably, the document should be in English. This will confirm that the medications are prescribed for your personal use and not for sale.

Also, do not forget the main restriction for carrying in hand luggage: it is prohibited to carry liquid substances in containers over 100 milliliters in hand luggage, this also includes thick substances, liniments, toothpastes, and others. If you have such medications, they need to be placed in checked baggage.

And finally, do not overdo it with the size and weight of the medications, so as not to accidentally exceed the allowable limits for hand luggage according to your airplane ticket. Usually, it is allowed to carry items with a total weight of up to 7 kg in hand luggage, but this limit may vary with individual airlines and specific fares, so check it according to your ticket before departure.
