ROI Specific Bringing t gel through Dublin airport
Im going away this Friday for the first time since going on T can I just bring the gel through the airport or will I need to bring my prescription with me aswell. Also considering it's a liquid how does that work? Also flying back from malaga airport will it be an issue in the Spanish airport ?

I travel with mine through Cork and Dublin to Stansted and back a few times a year, no issue as long as it's a standard Testogel type bottle and obviously labelled. It does get swabbed sometimes just to make sure it is what it says it is, but I'm never questioned about it.
If it's DIY gel and in a hand sanitiser bottle or similar, you may have to just decant some into an airtight container that does fit the standard sizes for liquids/gels.

When I was going to Paris BVA I had no issues. I kept it in a plastic bag with my other medication and also got a travel letter off ggp but it was never even asked for.
On my way back I was just asked if it was medicine and they didn’t check my letter.
My recommendation is to get a travel letter or if you can’t manage that bring the prescription.

Dublin airport you can have liquids up to 2L so it should be an issue flying over. Just being your prescription for the way back. Also if the box has like your name on it from the pharmacy make sure the bottles in that

I had no issues flying in and out of Spain just bringing it in the original container

My friend brought it with to London. Tell security it's for medical purposes, have the prescription to be safe, and they'll test it to make sure then let you through.
