Personal Medication Importation

Meaning

Personal medication importation is the act of an individual legally bringing a supply of prescription medication, often including hormone preparations or biologics, into a country for their own personal use while traveling or relocating. This practice is governed by strict, varying international and national regulations that often stipulate maximum allowable quantities, require an original physician’s prescription, and mandate that the drug is for the patient’s existing treatment. Understanding these rules is essential for patients managing chronic hormonal conditions.
