Can you carry medicinal drugs in the cabin of an airplane to or from Indonesia?

Yes, it is allowed, this is completely common practice, as there are no established prohibitions on transporting medicine in hand luggage to/from Indonesia. But to avoid difficulties, you need to follow a few clear but mandatory rules.

Indonesian customs and other countries monitor the import of medications, and here's what you need to know so that your baggage and hand luggage don't raise unnecessary questions:

• Medications for personal use. You can carry a volume sufficient for the duration of the trip.
• Keep in original packaging. This is the most important rule. Blisters, jars, and instructions should be factory-made. Loose pills in a bag will immediately raise suspicion.
• A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the drug is dispensed by prescription, especially powerful, psychotropic, or hormonal, be sure to bring the prescription or a doctor's note with a stamp. It's better if it's 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 carrying in hand luggage: you cannot carry liquid substances in containers over 100 milliliters in hand luggage, this also includes cream-like products, ointments, toothpaste, and similar items. If your medications include such items, they need to be placed in checked baggage.

And finally, don't overdo it with the quantity and weight of medications, so as not to unintentionally exceed the allowed limits for cabin carriage according to your airplane ticket. Usually, you are allowed to carry baggage in hand luggage with a total weight of no more than 7 kilograms, but this limit may vary among different airlines and specific fares, so check it based on your air ticket before the flight.
