They didn't question either and I think they were both 4 oz. they tested the cup of milk but just wiped the other bottles off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/liquid-medications-on-flights#post-1651914 Thu, 22 May 2014 12:22:52 +0000 Jenn23 1651914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Liquid Benadryl without a note should be fine. We took it for our son on our 30 hour (3 flights) trip to India last year and all 3 airports were fine with it. Just has to be a small amount, not over the max allowed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/liquid-medications-on-flights#post-1651902 Thu, 22 May 2014 12:18:29 +0000 Pumuckl 1651902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never got questions if it was clearly medication. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/liquid-medications-on-flights#post-1651899 Thu, 22 May 2014 12:16:37 +0000 brownie 1651899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@butterbean: You can check the TSA website for their exact requirements but it should be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/liquid-medications-on-flights#post-1651873 Thu, 22 May 2014 12:00:43 +0000 butterbean 1651873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks everyone!!!</p> <p>@brownie: do you think the emergency action plan (signed by the doctor) would be sufficent? just not sure if i get a doctor's note in time before we fly... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/liquid-medications-on-flights#post-1651851 Thu, 22 May 2014 11:51:18 +0000 brownie 1651851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bring a note from your doctor explaining the allergy. Pull it out to be screened separately. My sister flies with benadryl, epipen, and note from a doctor with her daughter all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/liquid-medications-on-flights#post-1651838 Thu, 22 May 2014 11:47:57 +0000 pui 1651838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've flown multiple times with my epipen in my carryon and it's never been a problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/liquid-medications-on-flights#post-1651828 Thu, 22 May 2014 11:45:20 +0000 looch 1651828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bring sealed medication on board for my son if it is not prescription. So, I'd buy a new bottle of benadryl in the smallest size, I wouldn't decant it.</p> <p>For prescriptions, I bring a copy of the original prescription and whatever we have left. </p> <p>I have never been questioned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/liquid-medications-on-flights#post-1651785 Thu, 22 May 2014 11:34:21 +0000 peachykeen 1651785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I believe medications are exceptions to the 3 oz rule, actually (so you can bring them on "reasonable" sizes). I would stick to the smallest bottle to avoid issues, though. </p> <p><a href="http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/medically-necessary-liquids" rel="nofollow">http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/medically-necessary-liquids</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/liquid-medications-on-flights#post-1651766 Thu, 22 May 2014 11:28:03 +0000 MaryM 1651766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as it's not a huge bottle and you put it in a baggie with any other liquids, it shouldn't be a problem.</p> <p>I've even forgotten to take the bag of liquids out of my carry on the last few times I've traveled and they haven't questioned me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/liquid-medications-on-flights#post-1651765 Thu, 22 May 2014 11:27:17 +0000 Tanjowen 1651765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything under 3 oz can be brought on board in your carry-on. I would purchase a 3 oz. travel bottle and put some in there for your flight and you shouldn't have any problems with security. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/liquid-medications-on-flights#post-1651755 Thu, 22 May 2014 11:21:56 +0000 butterbean 1651755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>does anyone know if we can bring benedryl on flights (with our carry-on items)? my son has food allergies so i always like to keep the benedryl and his epi-pen closeby... </p>
