Are you taking medication and planning to travel?
Please consider the following:
Legislation
- Some medications are subject to narcotics legislation, such as sleeping pills, tranquilizers, and ADHD medication.
- If you take these abroad, you will need a so-called Schengen Certificate. Without such a certificate, you are committing an offense.
- For more information and to download the form, visit www.farmatec.nl.
Hand Luggage
- Preferably, take your medication in your hand luggage.
Packaging and Leaflet
- If possible, take the original packaging and the leaflet with you.
- This can prevent a lot of explanations at the border.
Supply
- Ensure you have an adequate supply of medication for the entire trip.
- Obtaining the right medication in another country or culture can be complicated.
Precaution
- For longer trips, it is wise to take a first aid kit with you.
- Ask your Regenboog Apotheek pharmacist for advice.
