Bring prescriptions with original bottles and a doctor's note

Bring prescriptions with original bottles and a doctor's note

Don’t forget your prescriptions and original containers for your medications. These need to match the name printed on your boarding pass. For extra support, you can ask your doctor to write a letter in advance, vouching for your need to take these medications. If you choose to get a letter, also note that it’s best to get it written on an official letterhead. These should include your doctor’s name, office location, and phone number. It could also help to include the contact information for your local pharmacist as well.
