travelling with meds, needles and syringes

[Guest guest]

You should always travel with your medications in carry on bags.  Never put medications in checked luggage.   Always travel with medications in their original bottles, showing the prescription, etc.  This is a legal requirement.   Technically, this is even true within the US.As for needles and syringes, have the prescription for the injected medication, too.   I have heard of problems for people carrying anabolic steroids, even with prescriptions.On May 21, 2006, at 8:49 AM, PozHealth wrote:I am going to Puerto Vallarta next Saturday... I am going to be  travelling with my meds (of course)... Does anyone have any experience  with travelling with meds, needles and syringes, especially to another  country?  Can you take these items as 'carry-on' or should I pack them  in checked luggage.  I'd rather not check in case they lose the  luggage... I am told I should have the pharmacy label for everything  and that stuff should be kept in the original pharmacy bottle, not  moved into any sort of pill-box. Barrowpozbod@...
