dr_Pat_Pong Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 Leave them in the bottle / package with the pharmacist's info on it, and get a letter from your doctor and carry it with your papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Mist Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Thats what I had to do for a while when coming to LOS. I used to declare them and mostly the officers wern't interested. One trip the guy wanted to see my letter from the GP, it was in a sealed envelope and when I went to open it he lost interest and sent me through. I have since had an operation to sort things out but last trip I didn't bother bringing any stuff with me just went to the local Hospital and got what I needed from there.

Nat Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Hi garbol Dr's advice is spot on. I occasionally suffer from migraines, plus being a female, always travel with plenty of prescription medication and have never had any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuky Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Nat, Just out of interest...is it more common for a female to need prescription medicine than a male? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nat Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Nat,Just out of interest...is it more common for a female to need prescription medicine than a male? It is if she controls her months to exactly 28 days . Apart from this, most of the medication is just precautionary - women tend to be prone to certain things, such as cystitis which is not pleasant and if not dealt with can lead to a kidney infection.
