Prescriptions and medications are often an essential component of travel for many people, and certain medicines definitely can't be left behind. Regarding the prescriptions you will need before your trip to Egypt, decide what you need and then check with the Egyptian Consulate in your area to be sure you can bring these medications with you and what paperwork is needed. It is always best to be prepared, even if you are not questioned about the prescription or papers after landing in Egypt.
Entering Egypt with medications is subject to regulations. As long as you are bringing them for personal use, you are allowed to bring several medications into Egypt. Certain items need a permit to be brought, while others are completely prohibited.
Medicine imports into Egypt are governed by Pharmacy Law No. 127 (1956) and Anti-narcotics Law No. 182 (1960), which prohibit the import of drugs (including psychotropic, general, and strictly regulated substances).
Also, most medications used globally can be found in Egypt's communities and hospitals.
To help with substance identification at the airport, make sure the medication is kept in its original container with the dispensing label still attached. Including a formal letter from your general practitioner (GP) when bringing medications to Egypt is essential. This letter should state that the medicine you have been prescribed is for personal use exclusively, and it should include information on the condition you have and the quantity you plan to transport. Please be aware that entering Egypt with any medication that contains methadone is prohibited.
Anything further the traveler would take or maintain as proof that they used the prescribed medication in the United States (or their native country). Here are the guidelines for carrying medicines with travelers to Egypt for personal use.
At the Egyptian airport of entry, Ministry of Health inspectors will inspect passengers' medications. This is a standard procedure to ensure the safety and compliance of all travelers.
