What do I do upon arrival/departure from airport

I have a long haul flight to australia next week. I've got 2 doses left of my pen so will bring it with me in a pouch I've bought from amazon. What do I need to do at departures and arrivals? How do I declare it? I'm already stressing about it. I know I need to carry in hand luggage. Will they say anything? I don't have a prescription exactly as i purchase from iqdoctor.

You do have a prescription, it’s a private one from IQ Doctor. The label on the box the pen came in is a printed prescription label, it shows your name, the date, the medication and dose, along with the prescriber. So take that with you. You don’t need to declare it, if they check your bag they’ll see it’s medication and at most they’ll check that it’s prescribed to you.

You don’t need to do anything or declare anything. Leave it in your bag and if asked any questions (you won’t be!) explain it’s medication and show them the prescription label.

Honestly, it’s a non event!!

Many thanks. I'd read elsewhere I'd need to go to the 'declare' lane.
