Can you carry medications in hand luggage to or from Slovakia?

Yes, this is permissible, it's quite a standard situation, as there are no prohibitions on transporting medications in the cabin of an airplane to/from Slovakia. But to avoid problems, you need to adhere to a few simple but strict requirements.

Border control in Slovakia and other countries monitors the import of medications, and here's what's important to remember so that your baggage and hand luggage don't raise unnecessary questions:

• Medications for yourself. You are allowed to transport a volume sufficient for the duration of your trip.
• Keep them in their original packaging. This is a key requirement. Blister packs, bottles, and package inserts must be branded. Medications loose in a bag will immediately raise suspicion.
• A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the medication requires a prescription, especially for powerful, psychotropic, or hormonal drugs, be sure to have a prescription or medical certificate with a seal. Preferably, the document should be in English. This confirms that the medications are prescribed for your personal use, not for sale.

Also, don't forget the main restriction for carrying in hand luggage: transporting liquids in containers larger than 100 ml is not allowed in the cabin of an airplane, which also includes creams, ointments, toothpaste, etc. If among your medications there are such, they need to be placed in checked baggage.

And finally, don't overdo it with the volume and weight of medications, so as not to accidentally exceed the permitted limits for cabin transport according to your airline ticket. Usually, you are allowed to carry items in hand luggage with a total weight of up to 7 kg, but this limit may vary among different airlines and fares, so check it based on your airline ticket before your trip.
