Do meds (pill and inhaler form) -- have to also be in a plastic bag. (Flying Air France in 2 weeks to Paris) Pills are contained in vials -- with doc's name and name of med. Just a couple of them. Thanks.. |

Thanks.. Your prescription meds don't have to be in that 1 quart bag with your carryon 3oz items. But, they need to be accessible for inspection. Put them in another baggie. If you are flying from the U.S., go to the TSA website for the final word. As for your inhaler - I think you're wondering about needing the prescription label. I've been told that I had to have the box that the inhaler comes in. I did keep the last box I got and have it folded flat in my carryon in case someone really wants to look at it. But, I've yet to be asked about the prescription. This is the latest that I've found on the TSA site regarding meds: "All medications in any form or type (for instance, pills, injectables, or homeopathic) and associated supplies (syringes, Sharps disposal container, pre-loaded syringes, jet injectors, pens, infusers, etc.) are allowed through the security checkpoint once they have been screened. Atropens, an auto-injection system that can help treat many emergency conditions (low heart rate, breathing problems, and excess saliva related to insecticide, nerve gas or mushroom poisoning) are also allowed. We recommend, but do not require, that your medications be labeled to assist with the screening process. Carbon dioxide (CO2) migraine inhalers and CO2 refills. Medications in daily dosage containers are allowed through the checkpoint once they been screened. Medication and related supplies are normally X-rayed. However, as a customer service, TSA now allows you the option of requesting a visual inspection of your medication and associated supplies. * You must request a visual inspection before the screening process begins; otherwise you medications and supplies will undergo X-ray inspection. * If you would like to take advantage of this option, please have your medication and associated supplies separated from your other property in a separate pouch/bag when you approach the Security Officer at the walk-through metal detector. * Request the visual inspection and hand your medication pouch/bag to the Security Officer. * In order to prevent contamination or damage to medication and associated supplies and/or fragile medical materials, you will be asked at the security checkpoint to display, handle, and repack your own medication and associated supplies during the visual inspection process. * Any medication and/or associated supplies that cannot be cleared visually must be submitted for X-ray screening. If you refuse, you will not be permitted to carry your medications and related supplies into the sterile area." |
