Hello everyone,

Andy,

Do you think they'll let us carry IP6? as it contains white powder?

Zaini,

I have carried a whole suitcase of desferal through Dubai airports. The most that ever happens is they ask what it is and why I am carrying it. Bring some evidence that your daughter is being treated (a prescription for any med should do) for a disorder. I also take various vitamins and have never been questioned anywhere about them.

Have a nice trip.  :smiley
Andy

All we are saying is give thals a chance.

Thanks a lot Andy :)

I asked zainab's dr to write me a prescription, which he did but only for ferriprox,folic acid and chewcal,as he said "i didn't prescribe this IP6 to you " :biggrin.
Anyways i'll ask my cousin who is a doctor to give me a prescription.

Zaini,

I don't think you'll need a prescription for IP6 as long as you have a prescription for her other meds. Carrying vitamins on a trip is normal and I have never been asked once about the vitamins I carry with me every time I travel.

Sometimes , God breaks our spirit to save our soul.
Sometimes , He breaks our heart to make us whole.
Sometimes , He sends us pain so we can be stronger.
Sometimes , He sends us failure so we can be humble.
Sometimes , He sends us illness so we can take better care of our selves.
Sometimes , He takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everything we have.

Hi Zaini
Have a safe trip. As long as you carry a report that says your daughter is a thal major and IP-6 is just a medicament you will have no problem. In any case women when travelling with children especially are always checked out in a hurry so as the kids don`t have a problem. I have brought homeo medicines which are not allowed in my hand bag as I had to give Hassan hourly medicines.I have never had a problem, but the checking is a little more strict whilst coming for umrah. I too would have tried to come and meet you had the weather been better. Presently we are having a lot of dust storms and it is really hhhhhhhhhhhoooottttttt.
Remember us in your prayers
Maha
