Information

You may carry medication to Spain if it has been prescribed by a doctor, bought legally in the United Kingdom, it is for your own use and for the rational dosage which you may require for your trip.             

The maximum quantity in any case is the equivalent for 3 months treatment.              

We advice you to travel with your doctor’s letter and/or a copy of the prescription and to take the medication in the original packaging. Always carry medicines and medical equipment (needles, syringes and so on) in their original, correctly labelled packages. Carry your medicine in your hand luggage (although check your airline’s regulations before travelling) with a copy of your prescription. (for the UK).  

Bear in mind that, although you may carry medication as mentioned above, a personal license may be needed to take controlled medicines abroad. If due to your treatment you are travelling with medication which contains a substance under international control, you are required to obtain previous authorization by the Spanish Medicines Agency.
