Re: Can I carry-on Androgel

[Guest guest]

When I travel, all I need is the prescription from the doctor....I take a

list of meds I take with me and present it to the agent. That seems to

satisfy them. I get it printed out from my doctors office, has her name,

address and phone number on it.

If it's more than 3 oz it can't be in the cabin of the plane.

I do have the box it came in with my name and Dr.s name on it from Walgreens.

I carry mine on all the time, you just need to declare it at security as long as

you have the box with doctors name on it, I have carried it on many times

without incidence.

Thankfully my Dr. went ahead and prescribed me Androgel as a temporary

substitute while I travel. My next question is will I be allowed to carry it on

the plane or would it need to be checked? I know it is flammable is why I ask? I

do have the box it came in with my name and Dr.s name on it from Walgreens.

Thanks in advance for your reply!

As a consultant who was flying every Monday and Thursday for about 5 years, I

never had a problem at security for the Androgel. The prescription information

was affixed to the box, but I never (not even once) needed to produce it at the

security checkpoint. If I had to guess, I'd say that the Androgel doesn't come

up on the x-ray machine as a liquid.

Happy travels.

I fly American and have never had anyone ask or question. Usually fly without

the prescription on the box or the box and just take the bottle.

My Androgel comes in Packets. If you are at all concerned I would suggest

requesting a box (30) of the gel packs and you can just take a few packs for the

number of days you'll be gone.

I do have the box it came in with my name and Dr.s name on it from Walgreens.
