Title: Hong Kong and testim gel
Post by: peri on November 15, 2017, 12:16:10 PM
Hi
We're about to go on holiday to Australia and are stopping off in Hong Kong for a couple of days.  Does anyone know if I'll be ok taking testim gel?  Watched a program on tv recently were someone got into trouble over pain killers (not taking any of them) and it worries me.  I've googled it but can't find anything!x

Ask a Travel Agent or ring the Consular in London of the countries you are flying through.  It's Paracetamol I think that is illegal in Egypt certainly a pain relief that we take for granted.  It's a hangable offence in several countries.

Yes,it was tramadol that caused the problem in Egypt and it was a three month supply for another person.

Do you know which countries will hang you for bringing paracetamol?  :-\

Does that apply to paracetamol or is it just when its combined with codeine as it sometimes is?  Migralieve is one that contains both I think

I believe that things like sinutab or sudofed which contain pseudoephedrine can be a problem with the States.  Not sure whether it is because you can make drugs out of them, or bombs. :o  I think they just confiscate them though rather than bang you up in prison.  I expect if you took 290 with you, they would be asking questions though.
