Yes, it is allowed, this is a completely common practice, as there are no restrictions on carrying medications in hand luggage to/from Singapore. But to avoid problems, you need to follow a few simple but strict rules.

The customs service of Singapore and other countries controls the import of medications into the territory, and here is what you should consider so that your registered luggage and hand luggage do not lead to additional checks:

  • Medications for personal use. It is allowed to transport a reasonable amount for the period of stay.
  • Keep in original packaging. This is the main condition. Blisters, jars, and instructions must be factory-made. Loose tablets in a bag will immediately raise suspicions.
  • A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the drug is dispensed by prescription, especially powerful ones affecting the psyche or containing hormones, be sure to have a prescription or doctor's note with you, stamped. It is advisable to have it translated into English. This will confirm that the medications are prescribed for personal use, not for sale.

Also, do not forget the main restriction for transportation in the cabin: it is prohibited to carry liquids in containers larger than 100 ml in hand luggage, which also includes thick substances, liniments, toothpastes, and others. If among your medications there are such, they need to be sent to the baggage compartment.

And finally, observe moderation with the quantity and weight of medications, so as not to unintentionally exceed the allowable limits for hand luggage according to your airline ticket. Usually, it is allowed to carry items with a total weight of up to 7 kg in the aircraft cabin, but this norm may differ among different airlines and various tariff plans, so check this issue with your ticket before the flight.
