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

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

The customs service of Belarus and other countries monitors the import of medications 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 yourself. It is allowed to transport a reasonable amount for the period of stay.
• Keep in factory packaging. This is the most important rule. Blister packs, containers, and usage instructions must be factory-made. Loose pills in a bag will lead to immediate questions.
• A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the drug is dispensed by prescription, especially with strong effects, psychotropic or containing hormones, be sure to bring a prescription or medical certificate with a stamp. Preferably, the document should be in English. This will confirm that the medicines are prescribed for your personal use and not for sale.

Also, do not forget the main restriction for transportation in the cabin: transporting liquids in containers larger than 100 ml in the aircraft cabin is not allowed, this also includes cream-like products, ointments, toothpaste, and similar items. If among your medicines there are such, they need to be placed in checked baggage.

And finally, do not overdo it with the quantity and weight of medications, so as not to accidentally exceed the permitted limits for cabin transportation according to your airline ticket. Usually, it is allowed to carry baggage in the aircraft cabin with a total weight of no more than 7 kilograms, but this limit may be different for individual airlines and various tariff plans, so check this issue with your flight ticket before departure.
