Travelling abroad with medications?

[ftmichael]

Hey folks! I'll be travelling outside the US for the first time in my life this January, to spend four weeks in the UK (yay!). I'm flying via France on the way there and via the Netherlands on the way home. I'll be bringing my prescription injectable testosterone (T) and needles - the T in my carry-on due to pressure and temperature concerns in

Bring all your prescription medications and anything else you need to take them on your carry-on - if your luggage goes to Paris, Kansas instead of Paris, France you're going to be in trouble. Since it's liquids and needles you'll probably want to bring your prescription with you (that will also help if you lose it, drop it down the sink or whatever.) It might be a good idea to get a prescription for the needles (even if they're non-prescription you can usually get a prescription as a medical device, just to cover your behind).

Oh, I forgot. Even though you really should have prescriptions (and carry things in their original bottles, though that's not really a concern for a liquid), I've never actually been asked to see them.

I think once someone asked what it was, but they didn't actually seem that interested.
