Medications on a flight

[crmavb]

Hello will I have any problems taking ndt and T3 and naltrexone on a flight from the uk via Canada to the Caribbean? I have diagnosed Hashimotos but only get prescribed levothyroxine which I don’t take.

Really don’t want my medication confiscated.

Never had any problems with any tablets- assume you are only taking enough for you, dose for your trip plus say few extra days’ worth? I take a prescription copy with me, but like you don’t have one with T3 on only T4...but that indicates a need for thyroid meds. Never needed to show prescription, only ever had problem with insulin as it’s a liquid needs to be shown separately but only same as for eg toothpaste!

I doubt it. People need their medications when they travel I'm sure that's understood. My daughter brought several boxes of T3 with her when she was on a cruise. As long as it's a legal drug I don't think it would be a problem.

Never had a problem ... and anyway, thyroid meds are hormones not drugs 😊

Thank you that’s reassuring. Don’t know whether to keep them in their original packaging or separate them into a smaller commodity. Would hate to run the risk of confiscation!

Leave in original packaging and keep a copy of your prescription to hand to be absolutely certain there will be no problems. Enjoy your trip x

Keep them in their original packaging, take your prescription with you.

I’ve just flown to Mexico with my tablets in habd luggage. Left them in original packaging which shows dosage etc. Nobody batted an eyelid! You should be OK.

Thanks, I found an endocrinologist’s letter that said I take ndt and T3 so I took that. They wanted to chuck my voltorol pain killer gel which made me quite scared, as I broke a toe on Christmas Eve. But I managed to keep it.

I’ve now got to go through Canada security. They have massive signs saying you need to declare any cannibis related products.

I have some hemp oil capsules that look like fish oil tablets. One per day of my stay - 10 days. I am not saying anything. Fingers crossed
