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

Yes, it is allowed, this is absolutely normal practice, as there are no prohibitions on carrying medicines in hand luggage to/from Colombia. But to avoid problems, you need to follow several clear but mandatory rules.

Colombian border control and other countries monitor the import of medicines into their territory, and here is what you should consider so that your checked baggage and hand luggage do not raise unnecessary questions:

• Medicines for personal use. It is allowed to carry a reasonable amount for the duration of your trip.
• Keep in original packaging. This is the main condition. Blisters, jars, and instructions must be factory-made. Loose medicines in a bag will immediately raise suspicions.
• A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the medicine is prescription-based, especially with strong effects, affecting the psyche or hormonal, be sure to have a prescription or medical certificate with a seal. Preferably, the document should be in English. This will prove that the medicines are intended for your personal use and not for sale.

Also, do not forget the basic restriction for carrying in hand luggage: it is prohibited to carry liquids in containers larger than 100 ml in hand luggage, this also includes cream-like products, ointments, toothpaste, and similar items. If you have such items with your medicines, they need to be placed in checked baggage.

And finally, do not overdo it with the quantity and weight of medicines, so as not to unintentionally exceed the permitted limits for carrying in the cabin according to your plane ticket. Most often, it is allowed to transport items in hand luggage with a total weight of no more than 7 kilograms, but this limit may vary among different airlines and tariff plans, so check it according to your plane ticket before the flight.
