Bringing medicines

[tintu_mon]

Hi,

I'm reaching Finland next month. I'm planning to bring some medicines such as pain-killers, anti-allergic tablets, cough syrup and other over the counter ones. Is there any restriction in bringing such medicines to Finland? Please note that I'm not having a doctor's prescription for these medicines.

Thanks,
TM

It depends on the exact products and amounts, and where you are coming from:

Note that a product can be over-the-counter in one country, but possession might bring you into jail in another country.

Of course if you are lucky they dont look into your suitcase, but even then take the advice given to you, in Finland the customs are VERY strict. Dont know how it will be if you have no prescipritions in your name for your medication.
