How to pack and carry medications in luggage when flying to Antalya, Turkey?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 23 days ago
TL;DR
You can carry medications either in original packaging or just in blister packs — Turkish customs usually doesn't require the branded box, but it's safer to keep the instruction leaflet. Split pills between carry-on and checked luggage instead of packing everything in one place.
What the community said
One traveler asked whether medications must be in original branded packaging or if blister packs with the instruction leaflet are fine — based on the discussion, blisters with the leaflet are an acceptable option.

Advice given: consolidate pills by combining a couple of medications into one pack, then split the rest between checked luggage, carry-on, and clothing pockets — this makes it easier to get through screening without carrying dozens of separate boxes.

Based on one traveler's experience, they carried a large amount of medication last year by splitting it between checked baggage and carry-on, without issues — not every pack needs to be in original branded packaging.
