Are there restrictions on exporting medicine from Egypt (Hurghada) when flying home?

One traveler clarified that stories about medicine export bans are often spread by tour guides to steer tourists toward specific pharmacies — there's no actual quantity restriction.

According to chat discussion, customs scrutiny may start around 5 packs of the same medication, but even bringing 100 packs typically results only in confiscation, not a fine.

It's simpler not to risk bringing large quantities — just buy what you need at local pharmacies in Hurghada, which stock a wide range including strong combination cold medications.
