taking liquid prirton onboard plane , do i have to make sure it's 100ml or less

[ggirl]

will be in epipen box

Yes, the actual bottle has to be 100ml max too, I took a 200ml bottle that was less than half full through security and it was retained. HTH

oh bugger ..it's a 150ml bottle
will have to put in hold

Can you buy some when you have gone through security?

yeh , i will , why doesn't it come in small bottles?

You can take larger bottles of medications if accompanied by a doctors letter

I have letter but it only mentions epipen

I took a larger bottle once, but had the prescription with me. but better check with the airline as those things change all the time.
we switched to tablets from 4yo, as they are easier to transport.

tablets don't work quickly enough when ds needs it

could you get an empty 100ml bottle and decant some piriton into it?

Ds changed from liquid to tablet anti histamines a couple of years ago. He was told to chew them at the allergy clinic. They said they act much more quickly. It's much easier to carry tablets than a big bottle.

which tablets ? I'm all for changing if they work as quickly

just normal piriton tablets or do they do chewable

Yes, decanting into a 100ml bottle (or 2 100ml bottles) should be fine

It's the container size that counts, not the quantity

Seems completely arbitrary but worth filling the rules. You can take several 100ml bottles in one ziplock bag

"Filling" = following

the tablets are very small and a bit chalky.
dc takes them with a spoon full of juice.

Ds has always had cetirizine, he had the liquid from when he was 4, and tablets from 12. He's never had piriton.

Sorry, I should have said they're not special chewable ones. He has the normal ones and was told to crunch them up really well.

Right thanks you lot have given me the kick i needed , will change him to tablets , he takes these occassionally anyway.Why have I thought it had to be liquid..haven't been to allergy clinic for nearly 3 yrs ..i obv need an update!
Too late to get the bottles (flying in the am)but I do have cetirizine tablets .
Thanks

Oh I'm panicking now. Do you think you should check with the allergy clinic before you do that? I've just checked with ds and he said the pills start working after a minute or so when he has a reaction. He reacted to something in France in the summer even though they assured us there were no nuts in it. It was a bit scary as we were in the middle of nowhere but he was fine with just the pills. Where are you going? Have you got those little cards you can print off listing what your ds is allergic to?

well i am taking the liquid anyway so we'll be ok
i had those translation cards ..had them in loads of languages ( we've travelled a lot with ds) but can't bloody find them >
We're going to France. DD is doing her 3rd yr abroad at uni there.
Shall have a hunt again for the cards.

I couldn't find our cards in France. I thought I must have left them at home. I found them weeks later tucked into the pocket of my kindle!

Bloody Hell I found it!!!!

Fab. Have a great time.
