I am due to travel to Canada from the U.K. in October. I SI and so will need to take B12 , syringes and needles with me .
Can I put these in the hold luggage .Will there be any restrictions and is it likely the syringes etc will be confiscated at customs ? Any advice welcome .
Yes , best in hold luggage. I’ve travelled by air many times, and never had a problem. . Best wishes.
I take mine in cabin luggage, take a prescription with you just in case and you’ll be fine.
Hold luggage goes missing far too often and I always travel with personal medication in the cabin just in case.
Maybe check with your airline's website - most ask that medical supplies are carried in your hand luggage. I flew with BA recently, taking ampoules, needles and syringes, and had no problem at Heathrow or my destination. I'm sure you'll be fine, just think how many people with diabetes must fly every day. Have a great trip!
I live in Spain and flew to London and back in May. Carried my supplies in my hand luggage and wasn't questioned.
I live in BC, Canada. I don't need a prescription here to buy needles and injectable cyanocobalamin. I would guess it is the same in the rest of Canada? It is probably better though to bring what you are accustomed to taking.
Do you happen to know whether injectable hydroxocobalamin is available over the counter in Canada? I live in the US and hydroxocobalamin is available to my pharmacist only in 30 ML bottles, not in 1000 mcl ampules, so I would also need to get hydroxocobalamin shipped from Canada to the US.
So far as I can tell, the only injectable hydroxocobalamin authorised in Canada is a Serb Cyanokit product.
Go here and enter hydroxocobalamin as the active ingredient:
I think mainly the cyanocobalamin is easily available. I looked into getting hydroxocobalamin at one point and it sounded like I would need a prescription and it has to be ordered at a compounding pharmacist so it could take some time to fill the prescription.
Sounds like a good example of how arbitrary laws concerning B12 are.
The requirement in Canada is that medication and needles be stored in carry on bags. I am in Canada and have travelled several times with my B12 and needles/ syringes in carry on and have never been questioned.
Hi. I went to Canada twice last year and carried my B12 and injections/syringes in my cabin bag. I had a lot as I was injecting daily. It wasn't questioned. I had my prescription with me - I was pleased not to be asked for it as I was prescribed monthly but injecting daily.
