Hi, I am spending a few days in Dubai next year with my husband and 2 children before travelling onto the Maldives. However I have noticed that prescribed medication I am taken by is on the list f banned medication in Dubai.
Can I still take it into a Dubai provided I have a copy of the prescription and a doctors letter? Also are there any restrictions on travel sickness tablets, paracetemol, calpol, Ferminax? I know there will be chemists in a Dubai but only there for a few days and with kids so don't want to spend time looking for them.
There is no banned list, just a controlled drugs list exactly the same as for any country including the UK and the Maldives but with different items on it - all countries have their own specific controlled drugs list. The Dubai authorities have absolutely zero interest in preventing holiday makers taking prescribed medication.
Carry a copy of the prescription and keep the medication in its original packaging that shows the label with your name on that matches your prescription. Paracetamol, calpol and travel sickness pills are not controlled substances so can be carried into and bought in Dubai. Just some further information that may be of interest, Feminax is an expensive way of buying Ibuprofen - next time you need some check the ingredients and you'll see that Feminax is just fancy packaging and slick targeted marketing for a drug called Ibuprofen that you can buy over the counter in any supermarket or Boots for less than a third of the price of a packet of Feminax.
And I know you'll probably say 'but Feminax works for me' - indeed it does but it's the Ibuprofen that's doing the work. Ibuprofen can be carried into and bought in Dubai - it is sold in Dubai under the brand Brufen and you can buy much stronger doses of it in Dubai over the counter than you can in the UK. Many thanks for this, you have put my mind at rest!
And in future I think I will be looking st ibuprofen instead of expensive feminax!! We had a letter from the doctor when we went last year, but sailed through customs and no-one even checked. It's very unlikely that anybody will be checked. Better to be safe than sorry when it's so straightforward to keep yourself protected and safe. How did you get on when you travelled to Dubai? I am travelling next week with tramadol as I go to Australia for over 2 months.
I have been told I can take up to 3 months worth aslong as i have a doctors note and prescription. The items include both prescribed and over the counter medicines that are considered to be controlled substances within the UAE.
Medications that are banned include anti-anxiety drugs such as diazepam that are only available on prescription in the UK, however some over-the-counter cold remedies are also on the banned list, as well as common acne treatment roaccutane.
Dubai is known for its super strict laws - with holidaymakers imprisoned for a number offences in recent years that would be considered either minor or non-existent here in the UK. Cancer sufferer Perry Coppins endured five weeks in a Dubai jail last November after a customs official in Dubai thought he had taken illegal amounts of his anti-anxiety prescription medication into the country.
The father of three from Eastwood, Nottingham was carrying his medicine, which is legal in the United Arab Emirates with a prescription. But officers insisted on testing him anyway and when they found drugs in his system, they put him behind bars.
