Can you carry medicines in the cabin of an airplane to Brazil or from Brazil?

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

Border control in Brazil and other countries monitors the import of medicines into the territory, and here is what is important to remember so that your items in the baggage compartment and on your person do not lead to additional checks:

• Medicines for personal use. It is allowed to carry the necessary amount for the duration of your trip.
• Keep them in their original packaging. This is the main condition. Blister packs, bottles, and package inserts must be from the manufacturer. Loose tablets in a bag will lead to immediate questions.
• A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the medicine is dispensed by prescription, especially potent, psychotropic, or hormonal, be sure to have a prescription or medical certificate with you, stamped. It is better if it is translated into English. This will confirm that the medicines are intended for your personal use and not for sale.

Also remember the main restriction for carrying in hand luggage: it is prohibited to carry liquids in containers larger than 100 ml in hand luggage, this category includes creams, ointments, toothpaste, etc. If you have such items with your medicines, they need to be placed in checked baggage.

And finally, be mindful of the size and weight of the medicines so as not to unintentionally exceed the allowable limits for hand luggage according to your airplane ticket. Typically, you are allowed to carry items in hand luggage with a total weight of up to 7 kg, but this norm may vary among different airlines and tariff plans, so check it according to your air ticket before departure.
