Taking NDT & supplements to USA?

[Justliloldme]

We're off to Florida for 2 weeks on Thursday & I've just had the realisation that I may have problems taking my NDT & supplements.

Has anybody had experience of this & do you think I'll be ok?

Can't imagine going 2 weeks without them.

I have had the exact thought. Just a thought so far as not well enough to travel but wondered if they should go in hand luggage and thought that supplements alone may raise eyebrows let alone NDT. You must have them with you, possibly with some spares just in case.

I was going to get my private doctor to write letter to say for treatment of hypo etc but then worried what might happen if we parted company and the letter was not written immediately prior to travel. Bit of a minefield. Are yours prescribed or self sourced?

Have travelled to the US twice whilst being on Levo and T3 and all manner of vits without any issues. I played safe by having the T4 and T3 in hand luggage and kept 3-4 days of vits too.

Have a great holiday

I have taken Mexican t3 to the US and back and no consequences. Are they on script (in which case just have them in the proper container showing they are for you) or no?

Hi Punctured

I'm self medicating, so not prescribed unfortunately.

[puncturedbicycle in reply to Justliloldme]

Yes, my Mexican t3 was not prescribed and there was no problem. I'd expect it to be fine, if you're buying it otc I'd expect there is less of a chance it will be a problem. Take enough for your trip plus a few extra.

Ooooo never thought of that

I wondered which bag people put them in? I tend towards hand luggage, as hold luggage can get lost. But it also feels like hand luggage will be scrutinised more. So far I've opted to have a complete supply in both bags just in case. But haven't actually been questioned about them a single time.
