If your medicine is a liquid, get ready for the 3-1-1 rule tango. You’re allowed to bring medically necessary liquids in quantities larger than the standard 3.4 ounces—but you have to declare them.
Just pull that bottle of cough syrup or eye drops out of your bag and hand it to the officer separately. Don’t be sneaky; be proud. I’ve got my stuff in order, and I’m not smuggling jam.
Pro tip: if your liquid meds are in a huge bottle, ask the pharmacy for a smaller travel-size label. It’s like asking for a doggy bag, but for your sinuses.
