Is it allowed to carry medicines in hand luggage to or from Madagascar?

Yes, it is allowed, this is absolutely normal practice, as there are no restrictions on carrying medications in hand luggage to/from Madagascar. But to avoid questions, you need to follow a few simple but strict rules.

Madagascar customs and other countries monitor the import of medicinal products, and here is what is important to remember so that your baggage and hand luggage do not lead to additional checks:

• Medications for personal use. It is allowed to transport the necessary amount for the duration of the trip.
• Keep in original packaging. This is a key requirement. Blisters, jars, and instructions must be factory-made. Loose tablets in a bag will lead to immediate questions.
• A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the drug is dispensed by prescription, especially powerful, psychotropic, or hormonal, be sure to bring a prescription or a doctor's note, stamped. It is better if it is translated into English. This will confirm that the drugs are intended for your own needs, not for sale.

In addition, consider the key rule for carrying in hand luggage: you cannot carry liquids in containers larger than 100 ml in hand luggage, which also includes creams, ointments, toothpaste, etc. If among your medicines there are such, they need to be placed in checked baggage.

And finally, do not abuse the volume and weight of medicines, so as not to accidentally 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 be different for different airlines and specific fares, so check it according to your ticket before the trip.
