Do I need to declare my weight loss injections at airport security?
Yes, you need to declare your weight loss injections at UK airport security. Present them separately from other items in their original packaging with prescription labels and/or travel document, and inform security staff before screening begins.
Key points:
- Carry weight loss injections only in hand luggage to protect from temperature changes and loss.
- Keep them in original packaging showing your name and prescription details.
- Declare the medication at security checkpoints for separate screening.
- Have a prescription or prescriber's letter ready as evidence.
