Title: Oestrogel in hand luggage
Post by: Fedfan on June 02, 2023, 01:03:48 PM
I am flying to Italy tomorrow and just checking I can carry oestrogel pump dispenser in my hand luggage. Do I have to put it in the liquids bag as I was planning to keep it in the original box with the prescription label on. I am checking in a suitcase too but prefer to keep my medications in my hand luggage incase my case gets mislaid.
Thanks

I think I read that you can take it as carry-on with label/prescription on.

I travel a lot and tend to put it in my checked luggage, but that is only because I have separate oestrogen tablets that I put in my carry on, just enough for the trip and just in case my checked bag goes off on a different holiday of it's own!  ;D

Yes it’s fine to have it in hand luggage. Medications are allowed in hand luggage .

I took my bottle on a flight a few weeks ago in my hand luggage without any issues. I’d advised wrapping it in a plastic bag/sandwich bag before packing - just in case it gets squashed and leaks.
