Sumatriptan Injections and flying
Sep 15^th, 2010 at 7:03am

HI. I'm back ! (unfortunately!) going thru the another cluster cycle, however I am supposed to be travelling to Thailand next month for 3 weeks. Question is Will I be allowed to take Immigran injections onto the plane for use during the flight if needed, and will I be banged up in Jail in Thailiand with me carrying 3 weeks supply of med's ! ?? Anyone else had anyexperience to this ?

I can't speak to Thailand, but I've flown to Germany several times with all of my meds. I keep them in a separate bag, original scrip bottles, and in my carryon. Inspectors can ask to see them (did once) and all they did was note the labels. I carried Migranal Nasal spray rather than injectors on the plane but others can speak to that. Good luck and good flying! lance

I can't drink cos it will cause an attack, Can't sit in the heat or endure it cos it raises the body temperature and it causes an attack, Can't have sex cause that will bring on an attack. Not much bloody point going to Thailand really !

As to Thailands rules on meds..I'd contact your consulate people and make sure you won't be running afoul of their rules...their justice system doesn't quite operate like yours and ours! Joe
