I think you are allowed to take medicines if you've got a prescription for them and you might be asked to use some of it. I'd always check with the airline first though.

The rules on prescribed liquid medicines are these:

If the quantity is over 50ml, the medicine is not permitted in the cabin.

If the quantity is under 50ml you will be required to taste the medicine. (In your case, I assume that you'll have to spray it into your mouth). If you're unable to do this, an airline representative will accompany you to the airport pharmacist who will be asked to verify that the medicine is authentic.

As long as the quantity of the medicine is small enough and you can taste it (or the pharmacist can verify it), you can take the spray into the cabin.

just read your question, if you need to take a dose in front of someone, do not take more than the recommended dose, or you can have a reaction.
