Chardy Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 You'll want that much in your checked in luggage to save awkward questions at security or worse have it confiscated. Maybe get a letter from your doctor to verify your needs for the medicines in case Oz customs stop you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jayne Johnson Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hand luggage. declare everything and make sure you have prescriptions and doctors letter for all of them. Believe me they will find them if you try to hide them in your suitcase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosshf Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I'd keep at least a couple of weeks supply in your hand luggage. If anything goes wrong with checked in baggage it means you'll have some to keep you going until you can sort out a new supply. Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 My father in law brought 3 months supply for a visit - and a letter just stating it was prescribed and for personal use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my medical report from my doctor stating everything I've been prescribed, will this be sufficient? I have more than 3 months supply of my medication, will they confiscate any of it as excess?

Corinne14470 Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 A similar question, my hubby has some prescribed medicine to manage his heartburn. How much will they cost to access in Aus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
