UK Airport Security Rules for Viagra & Sildenafil
Airport Security Requirements
UK airport security allows prescription medications including Viagra and sildenafil in both hand luggage and checked baggage. Medications should remain in original pharmacy packaging showing your name and prescribing details. Security staff may request to inspect your medication, so keeping it easily accessible in hand luggage is recommended.
Prescription Documentation
While not always required for domestic travel, carrying a prescription letter from your UK prescriber is advisable for international journeys. This letter should confirm your medical need for sildenafil or Viagra and include the prescriber's contact details. EverydayMeds can provide prescription documentation upon request for patients requiring travel letters.
International Travel Considerations
Different countries have varying regulations regarding erectile dysfunction medications. Some nations require advance approval or limit quantities for personal use. Research your destination's specific requirements before departure. EU countries generally accept UK prescriptions for personal use, but post-Brexit regulations may vary.
Packing Best Practices
Pack more medication than needed for your trip duration in case of delays or emergencies. Split your supply between hand luggage and checked baggage to prevent total loss. Consider time zone changes when timing your doses - maintain consistent 24-hour intervals between tablets whether using branded Viagra or generic sildenafil.
Temperature Storage During Travel
Both Viagra and sildenafil should be stored below 25°C. Avoid leaving medications in hot cars or direct sunlight during travel. If travelling to very hot climates, consider using cooling packs in your luggage, but ensure medications don't freeze.
Ordering Before Travel
EverydayMeds offers both Viagra and sildenafil options with convenient online ordering. Plan ahead and order your medication well before departure to ensure adequate supply. Our UK-licensed pharmacists can advise on travel quantities and provide necessary documentation for international travel.
