Is it allowed to carry medications in the cabin of an airplane to or from Turkey?

Yes, it is allowed, as this is a quite standard situation, since there are no restrictions on carrying medications in hand luggage to/from Turkey. However, to avoid problems, you need to adhere to a few simple but strict requirements.

Border control in Turkey and other countries monitors the import of medications, and here is what you need to know to ensure your luggage and hand luggage do not lead to additional checks:

• Medications for personal use. You are allowed to transport 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 factory-made. Loose tablets in a bag will immediately raise suspicion.
• A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the medication is prescription-based, especially with strong effects, psychotropic, or hormonal, be sure to bring a prescription or a doctor's note with a stamp. It is advisable to have it translated into English. This will confirm that the medications are prescribed for your personal use, not for sale.

Also, remember the key rule for carrying in hand luggage: it is prohibited to transport liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 100 ml in the cabin of an airplane, which also includes creams, ointments, toothpaste, etc. If your medications include such items, they need to be placed in checked baggage.

Finally, do not 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 hand luggage with a total weight of no more than 7 kilograms, but this rule may vary among individual airlines and specific fares, so check it based on your airline ticket before your trip.
