Yes, it is allowed, this is quite a standard situation, as there are no restrictions on carrying medicines in hand luggage to/from Estonia. But to avoid questions, you need to follow a few simple but strict rules.

Estonian customs and those of other countries monitor the import of medications, and here is what you should consider so that your items in the baggage compartment and on your person do not provoke unnecessary suspicions:

  • Medicines for yourself. You are allowed to carry a volume sufficient for the period of stay.
  • Keep in original packaging. This is the most important rule. Blisters, jars, and instructions must be factory-made. Loose tablets in a bag will immediately raise suspicions.
  • A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the medication requires a prescription, especially for powerful, psychotropic, or hormonal drugs, be sure to have a prescription or medical certificate with a seal. Preferably, the document should be in English. This will confirm that the drugs are intended for your own use and not for sale.

Also, do not forget the main restriction for carrying in hand luggage: transporting liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 100 ml in hand luggage is not allowed, this category 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 volume and weight of medicines, so as not to accidentally exceed the allowable limits for hand luggage according to your plane ticket. Most often, you are allowed to transport hand luggage with a total weight of no more than 7 kilograms, but this limit may vary for individual airlines and specific fares, so check it on your air ticket before departure.
