Is it allowed to carry medicines in hand luggage to or from Tunisia?

Yes, it is allowed, as this is a standard situation since there are no prohibitions on carrying medicines in hand luggage to/from Tunisia. However, to avoid difficulties, you need to follow several clear but mandatory rules.

Tunisian customs and other countries monitor the import of medicines, and here is what you need to know to prevent your luggage and hand luggage from raising unnecessary suspicions:

• Medicines for personal use. You are allowed to carry a quantity sufficient for the duration of your trip.
• Keep them in their original packaging. This is a key requirement. Blisters, jars, and instructions must be from the manufacturer. Loose pills in a bag will immediately raise suspicion.
• A doctor's prescription is your key document. If the medication is prescription-only, especially powerful, psychotropic, or hormonal, be sure to bring a prescription or a doctor's note with a seal. Preferably, the document should be in English. This will confirm that the medicines are prescribed for your personal use and not for sale.

In addition, consider the main restriction for carrying in hand luggage: transporting liquid substances in containers over 100 milliliters is not allowed in hand luggage; this category includes creams, ointments, toothpaste, etc. If you have such medications, they need to be placed in checked luggage.

Finally, be mindful of the volume and weight of the medicines to avoid unintentionally exceeding the allowed limits for cabin carriage according to your airline ticket. Typically, you are allowed to carry items with a total weight of up to 7 kg in hand luggage, but this rule may vary among individual airlines and different fares, so check this issue with your flight ticket before the flight.
