Just take your prescription repeat forms with you; these show which meds you have been prescribed and thus are likely to need to carry on holiday.

Hallo

I am in New Zealand And I had to geta repeat Prescription of seretide because I lost mine. The doctor was fine enough with it. He just checked My Peak flow and stuff as well to make sure That it was working well enough Because I was due a review and stuff. What airport are you flying out of? I know I flew out of heathrow and Dublin and Neither of them batted an Eye-lid and I even Got my bag randomly searched. Itis advisory to Have a letter though incase you land in hospital and they an't get a hold of your notes. I couldn't get To my doc before I went but I am hopefully getting One sent Over from my mum!

Hope this helps!

pm me if you need me!
