Yes, this is permissible, it's quite a standard situation, as there are no prohibitions on carrying medicine in the airplane cabin to/from Sweden. But to avoid problems, you need to follow a few clear but mandatory rules.

Swedish customs and other states monitor the import of medications, and here's what you need to know so that your items in the baggage compartment and on your person don't provoke unnecessary suspicions:

  • Medicines for yourself. You are allowed to carry the necessary amount for the duration of your trip.
  • Keep in original packaging. This is a key requirement. Blister packs, containers, and usage instructions must be branded. Loose tablets in a bag will immediately raise suspicions.
  • A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the medication requires a prescription, especially for powerful effects, psychotropic or hormonal, be sure to have a prescription or doctor's note with you, with a stamp. It's better if it's translated into English. This will confirm that the medicines are prescribed for your personal use, not for sale.

In addition, consider the key rule for carrying in hand luggage: transporting liquids in containers larger than 100 ml in the airplane cabin is not allowed, this also includes thick substances, liniments, toothpastes, and the like. If among your medicines there are such, 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 allowable limits for hand luggage according to your ticket. Typically, you are allowed to carry items in hand luggage with a total weight of no more than 7 kilograms, but this rule may vary among different carriers and different fares, so check it according to your airline ticket before the trip.
