Yes, this is permissible, it is a quite standard situation, since there are no prohibitions on transporting medicine in the airplane cabin to/from Norway. But to avoid questions, you need to follow several clear, but mandatory rules.

The Customs Service of Norway and other countries monitors the import of medicinal products, and here is what you need to know so that your registered luggage and hand baggage do not provoke unnecessary suspicions:

  • Medications for personal use. You can transport the necessary quantity for the period of stay.
  • Keep in the original packaging. This is the main condition. Blister packs, containers, and usage instructions should be branded. Loose drugs in a bag will immediately raise suspicions.
  • A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the drug is dispensed by prescription, especially potent, affecting the psyche, or containing hormones, be sure to have a prescription or doctor's note with you, with a stamp. 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 remember the main restriction for transport in hand luggage: it is prohibited to transport liquids in containers larger than 100 ml in the airplane cabin, this category includes thick substances, liniments, toothpastes, and others. If among your medications there are such, they need to be placed in registered luggage.

And finally, do not overdo it with the dimensions and weight of the drugs, so as not to unintentionally exceed the permitted limits for transport in the cabin according to your airline ticket. Most often, it is allowed to transport items in hand luggage with a total weight of no more than 7 kilograms, but this norm may differ among different airlines and for specific tariffs, so check it according to your airline ticket before the trip.
