Yes, it is permissible, as it is a completely common practice, since there are no prohibitions on transporting medicinal products in hand luggage to/from Malta. But to avoid any issues, you need to follow a few clear but mandatory rules.
Malta's customs and those of other countries monitor the import of medicines, and here is what is important to remember so that your checked baggage and hand luggage do not provoke unnecessary suspicion:
- Medications for personal use. You can carry a reasonable amount for the duration of your trip.
- Keep in original packaging. This is the most important rule. Blister packs, containers, and usage instructions should be factory-made. Loose medications in a bag will immediately raise suspicion.
- A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the medication requires a prescription, especially for strong-acting, psychotropic, or hormonal drugs, be sure to have a prescription or a doctor's note with a stamp with you. It is better if it is translated into English. This will confirm that the drugs are intended for your own needs, not for sale.
Also, do not forget the key rule for transportation in the cabin: it is prohibited to carry liquid substances in containers over 100 milliliters in hand luggage, this category includes creams, ointments, toothpaste, etc. If among your medications there are such, they need to be placed in checked baggage.
And finally, be mindful of the size and weight of the medications to avoid accidentally exceeding the hand luggage allowance for your airline ticket. Most often, you are allowed to transport items in hand luggage with a total weight of up to 7 kg, but this limit may vary for different airlines and fares, so check it according to your flight ticket before the trip.
