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

Chile's customs service and 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:

  • Medications for personal use. You can carry a volume sufficient for the period of stay.
  • Keep in original packaging. This is the main condition. Blister packs, bottles, and package inserts must be from the manufacturer. Medications loose in a bag will lead to immediate questions.
  • A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the medication requires a prescription, especially with strong effects, psychotropic or containing hormones, be sure to have a prescription or doctor's note with you, stamped. It is advisable to have it translated into English. This will confirm that the medications are intended 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 hand luggage is not allowed, this category includes cream-like products, ointments, toothpaste, and similar items. If your medications include such, they need to be placed in checked baggage.

And finally, do not abuse the size and weight of medications, so as not to unintentionally exceed the hand luggage allowance for your airline ticket. Usually, it is allowed to carry hand luggage with a total weight of no more than 7 kilograms, but this limit may vary for individual airlines and different fares, so check this issue with your airline ticket before the trip.
