Can I take my migraine prevention tablets (prescribed) abroad without a letter from the GP?
First time abroad!

It will be fine. I’ve taken all sorts of prescribed meds abroad for years and never had an issue. If it’s a controlled drug it’s best to have a letter but if it has a prescription label on it it will be fine. If you have the slips with your repeats on even better, but don’t worry if you haven’t (although the Drs receptionist would be able to print a copy out).
