Can you carry medicines in hand luggage to or from the UK?

Yes, it is allowed, this is completely common practice, as there are no restrictions on carrying medications in hand luggage to/from the UK. But to avoid questions, you need to follow a few simple but strict rules.

UK border control and other countries monitor the import of medicines, and here's what's important to remember so that your baggage and hand luggage don't lead to additional checks:

• Medicines for yourself. You can carry a reasonable amount for the duration of your stay.
• Keep in original packaging. This is a key requirement. Blister packs, bottles, and package inserts must be factory-made. Loose drugs in a bag will immediately raise suspicions.
• A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the medicine is prescription, especially with strong effects, psychotropic, or hormonal, be sure to bring a prescription or doctor's note with a stamp. It's better if it's translated into English. This will confirm that the drugs are for your own use, not for sale.

Also, don't forget the key rule for carrying in hand luggage: it is prohibited to carry liquid substances in containers over 100 milliliters in hand luggage, this category includes cream-like products, ointments, toothpaste, and similar. If you have such with your medications, they need to be placed in checked baggage.

And finally, don't overdo it with the volume and weight of medicines, so as not to accidentally exceed the allowed cabin baggage limits for your flight ticket. Typically, you are allowed to carry baggage in the aircraft cabin with a total weight of no more than 7 kilograms, but this rule can vary among different carriers and specific fares, so check it on your flight ticket before departure.
