• Prescription Requirement: Carry a valid prescription from a licensed medical practitioner.
• Documentation: Have medical documents detailing the necessity of the medication, such as a diagnosis or treatment plan.
• Quantity Limit: Refer to each government for any limits on quantity and restrictions of medications
• Over-the-Counter Medications: Consider that common medications available in your own country can be a controlled or restricted medication in other countries. Verify their status before travelling.
