Prescribed by a doctor, in pharmacy packaging, 30 day duration with the prescription attached = no problem.
OTC meds then maybe.
Large quantities of prescription drugs = potential problem, especially if they may be considered to be for re-sale on the street.

| Thank you! I'm concerned because I have to bring warticon (I only have two little tubes though) and I'm scared that if it gets picked up they will say I have a communicable disease! Also a year's supply of contraceptive pills.... anyone who might know answers to these specifically - I'd lvoe your forever! |

Your B/C pill is a non issue - it is also available OTC here.
The "cream" treatment for HPV is also a non issue as far as customs and immigration are concerned.
If you were trying to bring a years supply of codeine it would be different.
They are non-restricted meds. Sleep well and worry not.
