Is it allowed to carry medicinal products in hand luggage to or from India?

Yes, it is allowed, as this is a standard situation since there are no prohibitions on carrying medicines in hand luggage to/from India. However, to avoid problems, you need to follow a few clear but mandatory rules.

Indian customs and those of other countries monitor the import of medications, and here is what you need to know 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 duration of the trip.
• Keep them in their original packaging. This is the most important rule. Blister packs, bottles, and package inserts must be branded. Loose pills 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 bring a prescription or doctor's note with a stamp. It is advisable to have it translated into English. This will prove that the medicines are prescribed for your personal use and not for sale.

Also, remember the main restriction for cabin transport: liquids in containers larger than 100 ml are not allowed in the aircraft cabin, which also includes cream-like products, ointments, toothpaste, and similar items. If your medications include such items, they need to be placed in checked baggage.

Finally, do not overdo it with the size and weight of the medications to avoid unintentionally exceeding the allowable limits for hand luggage according to your flight ticket. Most often, you are allowed to carry hand luggage with a total weight of no more than 7 kilograms, but this rule may vary among different airlines and fares, so check it with your flight ticket before the trip.
