What can I take in my carry on when flying?

[bsmartin2000]

Can anyone tell me what is allowed in my carry on bag? DH has alot of daily medications that he cannot do with out and I am hoping I can take them with me at all times in the carry on. Do they need to be in prescription bottles or can I put them in a daily pill container? We leave on Friday!!!!:sohappy:

From the TSA website:

Medications


All medications in any form or type (for instance, pills, injectables, or homeopathic) and associated supplies (syringes, Sharps disposal container, pre-loaded syringes, jet injectors, pens, infusers, etc.) are allowed through the security checkpoint once they have been screened. Atropens, an auto-injection system that can help treat many emergency conditions (low heart rate, breathing problems, and excess saliva related to insecticide, nerve gas or mushroom poisoning) are also allowed.
We do not require that your medications be labeled.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) migraine inhalers and CO2 refills.
Medications in daily dosage containers are allowed through the checkpoint once they have been screened.
Medication and related supplies are normally X-rayed. However, as a customer service, TSA now allows you the option of requesting a visual inspection of your medication and associated supplies.

• You must request a visual inspection before the screening process begins; otherwise your medications and supplies will undergo X-ray inspection.
• If you would like to take advantage of this option, please have your medication and associated supplies separated from your other property in a separate pouch/bag when you approach the Security Officer at the walk-through metal detector.
• Request the visual inspection and hand your medication pouch/bag to the Security Officer.
• In order to prevent contamination or damage to medication and associated supplies and/or fragile medical materials, you will be asked at the security checkpoint to display, handle, and repack your own medication and associated supplies during the visual inspection process.
• Any medication and/or associated supplies that cannot be cleared visually must be submitted for X-ray screening. If you refuse, you will not be permitted to carry your medications and related supplies into the sterile area.

Hope this helps! Have a wonderful trip! :animwink:

I've always taken my medications (all pills except for maintenance/rescue inhalers) in my carry-on with no issues. I do put them in a daily pill holder (plus pack a few extra). I've never had any issues. Basically, the items I pack in my carry-on are those I would not want to lose - laptop, medications, chargers/plugs for electronics (I place each one in a separate zip-top bag), itinerary information (airline, hotel confirmation, Magical Express vouchers, etc.), a change of clothes and/or bathing suit. My cell phone and iPod I usually carry in my handbag. In checked luggage is mainly clothes, shoes, toiletries, a paperback/magazine. We have a scale to weigh our luggage before we leave for the airport - I don't want any surprises! .
