Query regarding perscription medication on Ryanair flights

Ladygrim

Hello, I hope someone can help me.

I have tried to search the Ryanair website and it only refers to diabeties medication.

I suffer from high blood pressure and need to take tables on a daily basis. I will be flying to Alicante in a couple of weeks time and will only be taking one item of hand luggage with me.

What I want to know:-

Can I take my perscription medication on board the flight with me in my hand luggage?

Does it have to be in one of thoes clear plastic bags?

Does it have to be in the original box? (i.e. not just the pill pack but the full pack and instructions?) Does it have to be unused, (no pills taken out of the bubble pack?)

Can I take a perscription skin cream on the flight?

Is a 30g tube too big?

Does it (again) have to be in its original box? Also does it have to be unopened?

As I say, I have tried to find the answers on the Ryanair website, but there is nothing there. I have also looked on the airport website, but again nothing.

I hope I was clear. Thank you for looking

Hiya, I have flew with Ryanair quite a few times and just take our meds in their original foil strips and have never had any problems with them. I have also taken on tablet boxes, you know the ones you fill for each day. A 30g tube should be fine, the limit is 100ml bottles.
Hope this helps

This is really a question about the airport security check not about Ryanair or any particular airline. The flight attendant won't know what you have in your hand baggage.

Tablets are absolutely fine to take on board as they are solid; the 30g tube of cream should be fine too as long as it's in one of those plastic bags which you separate from your luggage when you put through the scanner before you get into the departure lounge

can't remember why but I seem to remember someone saying keep the medicine in its original box, the one that has the chemists sticker on it

I have taken various meds on ryan air flights and have left them in their orginal boxes (but not necessarily a full box) and put them into the plastic bag for hand luggage and i have never had an issue.
