Taking prescription medicine to the USA

Perhaps contact the airline or American embassy ?

Check with the American Embassy, I now get a letter from my GP stating that my medications are vital and that I have to keep them in my hand luggage.

We were in the USA 3 years ago, and they did not check "my drug bag".

When I had similar concerns over Mr C’s medication I emailed the relevant customs department and was quickly reassured. The printed copy of the email proved unnecessary but having it stopped me worrying.

I found this for the US. Might help perhaps marydoll. [email protected].

Hope you can be reassured and relax in advance of your trip.

Corner, thank you so much for that prescription. I will scan my prescription sheet and and email.

I knew the GN grans would help, many thanks to those who replied.

Cornergran, after a few tries, I have managed to send the email. I think I was adding an extra character!

I really appreciate you taking the time to help me.

We've taken prescription drugs to the US on numerous occasions, and provided they're in the original boxes with the details printed, we've never had an issue.

I'd do as Grannygravy has suggested and get a letter from your GP for additional information. We've had to get one for Mr. S. who unfortunately will have to travel to Aus. in January with a catheta; no problem but there was a £20 cost for the letter.

We travel often and my husband takes a Class A drug for his condition.
He has a letter from the GP takes the medication in the original packaging and as never had a problem in any country.

Oh this is interesting, off to India next year via abu dhabi i will have to look into medications as my sister takes several and i am on gabapentin which apparently is a controlled drug. I never gave it a thought. Thanks for the heads up.
