Prescription Help - Birth Control Pills

Ebonn123
#1
Hello,

I am travelling to Dammam next week and I will be there for 3 weeks. Can anyone tell me if I am allowed to bring over the contraceptive pill (birth control) with me? I do not have a copy of the prescription for them but I do have the original box. I also have a sheet of paper from the doctors that lists the prescription I take.

Any help on this before I go would be much appreciated!!

Yes, you're allowed to bring it without any problems.

Brilliant thank you, my only worry was the fact I didn’t have the prescription along with it. Thanks for confirming it will be ok.
