B12 Vials To America

[palometa1]

Hi Everyone, I am going to Florida next month I now SI and would like to know if I can take my b12 vials and needles with me in my checked in luggage, tried to look online but a bit confusing to understand

Do you get them on prescription? If so it should be easy, just take the prescription.

Hi, My Prescription is for every 8 weeks and done on line, so can’t order more or they query the order. I si every 2nd day and use vials I bought from Germany, my gp was not supportive at all about me si so they don’t know I do it.

Do the vials and needles need to go in my check in bag or my carry on bag if allowed at all.

Thank you for your reply

Do you get your own vials from the chemist, or are you injected at the doctor's surgery.

If you get the vials yourself, and the packaging has a 'printed pharmaceutical label, clearly identifying it as being prescribed for and belonging to you' then you may be able to use that packaging to get it through.

Thanks fbirder, The vials I buy from Germany but not on prescription, so no label on them as mine. I will order my prescription b12 with label as mine and take what I can with me and hope all is well while I am in Florida. Thanks for your reply and help

If you live in the US, you can mail them to your destination ahead of time. (International mail has its own set of challenges and potential delays.) I did this recently to avoid any hassles with the airline. I can say that the airlines are far less stringent about checked baggage than with carry on if you opt to go that route.

Where exactly are you headed. I live in Florida maybe I can help

I think youd be fine as long as you bring the prescription bottle. You DO NOT need to bring the sharps. I live in Florida. You can go to any CVS or Walgreens pharmacy and buy the sharps for like 3 bucks. Just bring your prescription with you and you're good. You dont want to miss the trip. Idk how you Brits live without the sun.
