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

Hungarian and other countries' customs monitor the import of medicinal products into the territory, and here is what is important to remember so that your items in the baggage compartment and on your person do not provoke unnecessary suspicions:

  • Medications for personal use. It is allowed to transport a reasonable amount for the duration of the trip.
  • Keep in original packaging. This is the most important rule. Blister packs, bottles, and package inserts must be factory-made. Loose medications in a bag will immediately raise suspicions.
  • A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the medication is prescription-based, especially potent, psychotropic, or hormonal, be sure to have a prescription or medical certificate with a stamp. It is better if it is translated into English. This will prove that the medications are prescribed for your personal use and not for sale.

Also, do not forget the key rule for transportation in the cabin: transporting liquid substances in containers over 100 milliliters in hand luggage is not allowed, this category includes cream-like products, ointments, toothpaste, and similar items. If your medications include such items, they need to be placed in the baggage compartment.

And finally, do not overdo it with the size and weight of the medications, so as not to unintentionally exceed the allowable limits for hand luggage according to your 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 carriers and different tariff plans, so check it according to your ticket before the trip.
