Travelling with Thyroid meds

I haven’t posted here for such a long time! Not sure whether anybody will have the answer. My husband and I are relocating to Baku, Azerbaijan for a couple of years. Does anybody know if I can take Tiromel there. I can’t tolerate Levothyroxine & do so much better on T3.

I work for an airline and didn't find any info in regards to prescriptions. Obviously no narcotics are allowed. I'd check with the Azerbaijan consulate. You can also get a letter from your physician detailing that you have hypothyroidism and use prescriptions for condition. I always advise people to leave medications in original packaging making it clear as to what the medication is.

Thank you. I will check with the consulate. The difficulty may be that I self medicate with T3. 🤷‍♀️.
