Birth Control And Airport Security Posted: 12-13-07 13:17pm
this is a really random question, but if
any has an answer for me that would be
magnificent! Ill be flying over the
holiday and was looking at a list of items
that you can't bring on the plane and
noticed that it said all prescription
medicine would have to match the name on
the person's ticket... well i know birth
control isnt really "medicine" but it is
still prescription, does anyone know if I
will have to present my prescription to
the airport securtiy people or if there is
anything else i need to do to get my birth
control on the plane? thanks for the help!

I think it should be okay. Can't you carry
it in your purse or pocket?

I was worryid about the same thing when i
flew last year. So what i did and this
sounds lame lol, is i took out the led of
a pen and filled it up with enough of my
pills for the time i would be gone, than
stuffed it with toilet paper so that it
didnt rattle (this was also because im not
aloud to be on bc, my mom doesnt approve
so it was a way of hiding it) and i had it
on my carry on, they didnt say anything
about it so i figuar you should be fine
even if its in the normal case

I would think you should be ok if it's in
your purse or carry on. Just make sure
your packet is labeled! If not go to the
pharmacy and ask them to put a label on
because you are traveling. They should do
that for you. Other than that I don't
think they care is you have bc but not too
sure I've never been on a plane!

Birth control is ok. I flew back in
september and I just had them in my purse.
They scanned my purse and must have saw
them, but nothing happened. So I think
you will be fine. Just take a copy of
your script with you to be on the safe
side.

I believe I flew down with birth control
once and I was fine.
