Is it allowed to carry medications in the cabin of an airplane to or from the Netherlands?

Yes, it is allowed, as this is a standard situation since there are no prohibitions on carrying medications in hand luggage to/from the Netherlands. However, to avoid any issues, you need to follow a few simple but strict rules.

Customs in the Netherlands and other countries monitor the import of medications, and here's what is important to remember so that your checked and hand luggage does not raise unnecessary suspicions:

• Medications for personal use. You are allowed to carry a quantity sufficient for the duration of your stay.
• Keep them in their original packaging. This is the main condition. Blister packs, containers, and usage instructions should be brand-specific. Loose medications in a bag will immediately raise suspicions.
• A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the medication is prescription-only, especially potent, psychotropic, or containing hormones, be sure to bring a prescription or a medical certificate with a seal. It's better if it is translated into English. This will prove that the medications are for your own needs and not for sale.

Also, remember the main restriction for carrying in hand luggage: it is prohibited to carry liquids in containers larger than 100 ml in hand luggage, which includes creams, ointments, toothpaste, etc. If you have such medications, they need to be placed in checked luggage.

Finally, do not overdo it with the quantity and weight of medications to avoid accidentally exceeding the hand luggage allowance for your flight 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 with different airlines and specific fares, so check it according to your ticket before your trip.
