Does anyone have any experience of this? Have checked the website - it says meds should have a gp certificate - but these are 'just in case ' meds. It also says liquids cant be anymore than 100ml - so I guess the calpol can stay in its bottle but the piraton is in a 150ml bottle - should I pour some into a clear 100 ml bottle?
Thanks for your help.

I wouldn't pour medicines into another bottle. If they are just in case can they not go into your checked in baggage?

Otherwise I would just buy them when you are through security, most airports have a boots.

ah yes silly me - didnt think of there being a boots at the airport! Need them in hand luggage really as dd just got over an ear infection. I still thought the 100 ml rule applies though even after security - or am I being stoopid - as eveything you would purchase after security is safe so its unlimited? Have i just answered my own question?

Get the calpol sachets as these are sealed so can go through. You cannot take dispensed medicine that you have put in another bottle. As kids can only have one dose of piriton just give the morning dose then pack it in your normal luggage.
