(1/6) > >>

Zaini:
Hello everyone,

We are leaving for Umrah on friday afternoon,so i won't be around much,we'll be staying in Dubai for three days also,I'll miss you all so much  :hugfriend :hugfriend :hugfriend  :biggrin.

Andy,

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

ZAINI.

Andy Battaglia:
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

Zaini:
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.

@zaini congratulations please pray for all thalassemics to get well and their problems get solved and pray for a safe good and cheap cure :biggrin btw i have also done umrah in 1998 i had a 15day trip before that i had 2 bags of blood and i didn't had desfrol there but i was fine and in my full energy and i was faster then normal people

Andy Battaglia:
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.
