Can you carry medicines in hand luggage to or from Bulgaria?

Yes, it is allowed, this is absolutely normal practice, as there are no established prohibitions on transporting medicines in the cabin of an aircraft to/from Bulgaria. But to avoid difficulties, you need to follow a few clear but mandatory rules.

Bulgarian customs and other countries control the import of medicines into the territory, and here is what you should consider so that your items in the baggage compartment and on your person do not provoke unnecessary suspicion:

• Medicines for personal use. You can carry the necessary amount for the period of stay.
• Keep in original packaging. This is a key requirement. Blister packs, containers, and usage instructions must be factory-made. Loose tablets in a bag will lead to immediate questions.
• A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the medicine is prescription, especially potent, psychotropic, or containing hormones, be sure to have a prescription or a doctor's note with a stamp with you. It is advisable to have it translated into English. This will confirm that the medicines are prescribed to you for personal use, not for sale.

In addition, consider the key rule 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. If your medications include such, they need to be placed in checked baggage.

And finally, do not abuse the size and weight of the medications, so as not to accidentally exceed the allowable limits for hand luggage according to your plane ticket. Usually, it is allowed to carry baggage in the cabin of an aircraft with a total weight of no more than 7 kilograms, but this limit may vary among different carriers and specific tariffs, so check it according to your plane ticket before departure.
