Can you carry medicines in hand luggage to or from Lebanon?

Yes, you can, this is quite a standard situation, as there are no restrictions on transporting medicines in hand luggage to/from Lebanon. But to avoid difficulties, you need to follow a few simple but strict rules.

Lebanon's customs service and other countries control the import of medications, and here's what's important to remember so that your luggage and hand luggage don't provoke unnecessary suspicions:

• Medications for personal use. You can carry the necessary amount for the duration of your trip.
• Keep in original packaging. This is the main condition. Blisters, jars, and instructions 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 with strong effects, affecting the psyche, or containing hormones, be sure to bring a prescription or a medical certificate stamped. It's better if it's translated into English. This will confirm that the medicines are prescribed for your personal use, not for sale.

Also remember the key rule for transport in the cabin: transporting liquid substances in containers over 100 milliliters in the aircraft cabin is not allowed, this also includes creams, ointments, toothpaste, etc. If you have such medications, they need to be placed in checked luggage.

And finally, be mindful of the size and weight of the medications to avoid accidentally exceeding the permitted carry-on limits for your airline ticket. Typically, you are allowed to carry hand luggage with a total weight of no more than 7 kilograms, but this limit may vary with different airlines and fare plans, so check this with your ticket before departure.
