Solid medication

Allowed through TSA

TSA permits solid medication in both carry-on and checked baggage.

Original bottle

Not required by TSA

TSA recommends that medications be clearly labeled to help with screening.

International travel

Check destination rules

Requirements can differ outside the U.S., so review the destination country's rules before departure.

At the checkpoint

A weekly pill organizer can go through TSA screening.

For solid medications, TSA does not require pills to remain in their original prescription bottles.

Clear labeling can still make screening easier, especially if you are carrying several medications or traveling internationally.

A simple travel checklist

01 · Keep medication accessible.
A carry-on can be more practical than checked baggage for items you may need during the trip.
02 · Keep labels or prescription information available when practical.
This can help if additional screening or questions come up.
03 · Separate medically necessary liquids.
TSA has separate screening procedures for medically necessary liquids above the standard 3.4 oz limit.
04 · Check international rules.
Medication rules can vary by destination and transit country.
