Article 75 Schengen Convention

Meaning

Within the hormonal health context, Article 75 of the Schengen Convention pertains to the legal framework governing the transport of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances across the internal borders of the Schengen Area. For patients undergoing hormone replacement therapy, this is clinically relevant when their prescribed medications, such as certain androgens or other controlled hormonal agents, are classified under these regulations. This article ensures that individuals carrying such controlled medications for personal medical use can travel legally, provided they possess the necessary official documentation from their prescribing physician. Compliance is critical for patients to maintain continuity of care and avoid legal complications while traveling within the region.
