Yes, it is allowed, this is absolutely normal practice, as there are no established prohibitions on carrying medicines in hand luggage to/from Monaco. But to avoid difficulties, you need to follow several clear but mandatory rules.

Border control in Monaco and other countries monitors the import of medicines, and here is what you should consider to prevent your luggage and hand luggage from leading to additional checks:

  • Medications for personal use. It is allowed to transport a volume sufficient for the period of stay.
  • Keep in original packaging. This is a key requirement. Blister packs, bottles, and package inserts must be from the manufacturer. Loose medications in a bag will immediately raise suspicions.
  • A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the medication requires a prescription, especially for strong effects, psychotropic or containing hormones, be sure to have a prescription or medical certificate with a stamp. Preferably, the document should be in English. This will confirm that the medications are prescribed for your personal use, not for sale.

Also, do not forget the main restriction for transportation in the cabin: liquids in containers larger than 100 ml are not allowed in hand luggage, this category includes cream-like products, ointments, toothpaste, and similar items. If your medications include such, they need to be placed in checked luggage.

And finally, do not overdo it with the size and weight of the medications, so as not to unintentionally exceed the hand luggage allowance for your airline ticket. Typically, you are allowed to carry hand luggage with a total weight of no more than 7 kilograms in the aircraft cabin, but this norm may vary among different airlines and tariff plans, so check this issue with your airline ticket before the trip.
