Can you carry medications in carry-on luggage in the US or from the US?

Yes, it is allowed, this is completely common practice, as there are no prohibitions on carrying medications in the cabin of an aircraft to/from the US. But to avoid problems, you need to follow several clear but mandatory rules.

US and other countries' border controls monitor the import of medications, and here is what to consider so that your baggage and carry-on do not lead to additional checks:

• Medications for yourself. You are allowed to carry the necessary amount for the duration of your trip.
• Keep in original packaging. This is the most important rule. Blister packs, bottles, and package inserts should be from the manufacturer. Loose pills in a bag will lead to immediate questions.
• A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the medication requires a prescription, especially for powerful effects, psychotropic or hormonal, be sure to bring a prescription or a doctor's note with a stamp. Preferably, the document should be in English. This will confirm that the medications are prescribed to you for personal use, not for sale.

Also, do not forget the main restriction for carrying in carry-on luggage: you cannot carry liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 100 ml in the aircraft cabin, this also includes thick substances, liniments, toothpastes, and others. If among your medications there are such, they need to be placed in checked baggage.

And finally, do not overdo it with the quantity and weight of medications, so as not to unintentionally exceed the permitted carry-on limits for your airline ticket. Usually, you are allowed to carry baggage with a total weight of no more than 7 kilograms in carry-on, but this norm may vary among different carriers and specific fares, so check this issue with your ticket before the trip.
