Is it possible to carry medicinal products in the cabin of an airplane to or from Cape Verde?

Yes, it is permissible, as it is quite a standard situation, since there are no prohibitions on transporting medicine in hand luggage to/from Cape Verde. But to avoid problems, you need to adhere to a few simple but strict requirements.

Border control in Cape Verde and other countries monitors the import of medicinal products into their territory, and here is what is important to remember 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 duration of the trip.
• Keep them in their original packaging. This is the most important rule. Blisters, jars, and instructions must be brand-specific. Loose drugs in a bag will lead to immediate questions.
• A doctor's prescription is your key document. If the drug is dispensed by prescription, especially those with strong effects, affecting the psyche or hormonal, be sure to have a prescription or a medical certificate with a seal. It is advisable to have it translated into English. This will confirm that the drugs are intended for your own needs and not for sale.

Also, do not forget the key rule for carrying in hand luggage: transporting liquids in containers larger than 100 ml in the cabin of an airplane is not allowed; this category includes creams, ointments, toothpastes, etc. If your medications include such items, they need to be placed in checked baggage.

And finally, observe moderation with the dimensions and weight of the drugs to avoid accidentally violating the hand luggage allowance for your ticket. Usually, it is allowed to carry baggage in the cabin of an airplane with a total weight of no more than 7 kilograms, but this limit may vary among different airlines and various tariff plans, so check this issue with your ticket before the trip.
