Kraków travel answer 87 of 100

87. How should I travel to Poland with prescription medicine?

Keep medicine in its original labelled packaging and carry a prescription copy or doctor’s letter identifying the medicine and your need for it. Check Polish, transit and home-country rules, especially for controlled substances: a normal prescription may not replace a required permit or certificate. Keep essential supplies accessible during travel and confirm storage needs with your pharmacist. Do not assume a foreign brand name will be stocked locally.
