    Hey folks

    So I'm travelling to Rome shortly for a few days and I need to bring syringes and needles with me. 2 of each. I don't have a prescription for the medication as it's performance enhancing stuff but what I'm asking is can I take this through security in my hand luggage without any problems? I am not checking in baggage so don't have that option.

    Note the medication is not illegal I just don't have a prescription is all.

    Thanks for any help

    I would think it unlikely that you will be able to bring needles and syringes in your hand luggage as these would fall under the sharp objects category! Call the airport and ask them!

    Perhaps you will survive a couple of days without your performance enhancing drugs?

    I'd say your options are:
    -check a bag
    -get whatever it is over there instead of bringing it with you if possible (you could maybe post it beforehand to where you're staying?)
    -go without them for a few days
    I would say you won't get needles through, and you probably don't wanna risk it. Pills/powders are all fine but it sounds like what you're bringing wouldn't pass so you'd better find another solution.

    Also... juice??? bit misleading :p

    Might not be illegal to possess. But you are bring in into a new country without a prescription. That would be illegal in most countries. But the EU probably saves you there.


    If your you can adjust you dosing schedule to not travel with it. That's probably best. If you aren't, then check on the bag.

    Keep it under 100ml and put it in the clear bag.

    No to syringes tho. You would be able to get them out there tho.
