Yes, you can, this is quite a standard situation, as there are no established prohibitions on transporting medications in the airplane cabin to/from Mexico. But to avoid questions, you need to follow a few simple but strict rules.
The customs service of Mexico and other countries controls the import of medications into the territory, and here's what's important to remember so that your baggage and hand luggage don't provoke unnecessary suspicions:
- Medications for personal use. You can bring the necessary amount for the duration of your trip.
- Keep them in their original packaging. This is the most important rule. Blister packs, bottles, and package inserts must be factory-made. Medications loose in a bag will lead to immediate questions.
- A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the medication is prescription, especially with strong effects, affecting the psyche, or containing hormones, be sure to bring a prescription or a doctor's note, stamped. It's better if it's translated into English. This will confirm that the medications are intended for your own needs, not for sale.
Also remember the key rule for carrying in hand luggage: transporting liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 100 ml in hand luggage is not allowed, this also includes creams, ointments, toothpaste, etc. If you have such with your medications, they need to be placed in checked baggage.
And finally, don't overdo it with the quantity and weight of medications, so as not to unintentionally exceed the permitted limits for cabin transport according to your ticket. Usually, you are allowed to carry baggage with a total weight of no more than 7 kilograms in hand luggage, but this rule may vary among individual airlines and specific fares, so check this issue with your flight ticket before the flight.
