Yes, it is allowed, this is absolutely normal practice, as there are no prohibitions on transporting medications in hand luggage to/from Spain. But to avoid problems, you need to follow several simple but strict requirements.

The customs service of Spain and other countries monitors the import of medications, and here is what is important to remember so that your checked baggage and hand luggage do not raise unnecessary questions:

  • Medications for personal use. You can carry a reasonable amount for the period of stay.
  • Keep in original packaging. This is the most important rule. Blister packs, bottles, and package inserts must be branded. Loose medications in a bag will immediately raise suspicions.
  • A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the medication requires a prescription, especially potent, psychotropic, or hormonal, be sure to bring a prescription or doctor's note with a seal. It is advisable to have it translated into English. This will confirm that the medications are prescribed for your personal use, not for sale.

In addition, consider the main restriction for transport in the cabin: liquids in containers larger than 100 ml are not allowed in hand luggage, this category includes creams, ointments, toothpaste, etc. If your medications include such items, they need to be placed in checked baggage.

Finally, be mindful of the size and weight of the medications to avoid accidentally exceeding the allowed cabin baggage limits for your ticket. Typically, you are allowed to carry items with a total weight of up to 7 kg in the cabin, but this limit may vary with different airlines and fare plans, so check it on your flight ticket before departure.
