Whats the regulations on taking prescription cream on aeroplanes?

[icemaiden]

I currently use Eumovate prescription cream and am going away on two weeks. Does anyone know the regulations? I know the 100ml liquid rule but this cream is in a 30g tube. I may ring the airline to check but any help at the moment will be appreciated.

If you dont need it on the flight pop in your hold luggage.

If you need to take it in hand luggage then you will have to pop it in a plastic bag, a single, transparent, re-sealable plastic bag, which holds no more than a litre and measures approximately 20cm x 20cm

30g is only 30ml

you shouldn't have any trouble. I think they're still handing out the resealable bags at the airport as you go through passport control, though it may depend which airport you use.

I travelled to US with 4 tubes of it [ one for me and rest for my US pal who cant get it], I put in my suitcase for the hold wrapped in a plastic bag in case it runs, I also carried the prescription with me, just in case, my suitcase was opened by the US customs, they put a note in your case to inform you ] but no mention was made about the cream at all.
I suggest it goes in your main luggage and you take a prescription if you have one, make sure the tube is unopened.
