I doubt it would be a problem. However, if it were me, I wouldn't mind carrying some document in plain and official-looking English (no doctor's script, please) explaining what I'm carrying and what for.
I'm sure your doc or pharmacist should be willing to assist you in this. Or tell you it's really unnecessary, in which case you might press on a little though. Chances are your destinations will be more than a little aware of the drugs in question though, so I'd really expect little trouble. But better safe than sorry and all that. Having said all that, I don't think I've ever carried a prescription for any of that usual stuff. But my sensible advise would be to try and do so, just in case.

Hmm, that's a good idea, I'll ask the prescribing doctor what she thinks.
I wonder if the info-brochure type thing they give us would work... Every medicine you get with prescription comes with this document that lists the ingredients, the use, the side effects etc. of the medicine. It's quite simple and plain. It also includes the pharmacy name, my name, and the doctor's name. If nothing else, I'll take that with me. |
