You should be fine, but keep your Levo in it's original box and make sure you take your prescription with you.

Keep them in their original box. I doubt they are on their "illegal drug" list anyway but you can Google for further information.

Thankyou SeasideSusie, am I right thinking they do their own brand of T3 over the counter, or is that wishful thinking?

You can enquire at a pharmacist when you get there. Levo of course is a world-wide prescription but I'm sure they must prescribe T3 to some of hypothyroid patients.

You can be prescribed T4/T3 combo medication in Dubai.

Prescription necessary. Any prescribed Meds taken with you, keep in their original containers & take evidence of them having been prescribed
