If I am lucky nothing will happen either way (pack it or carry it).

If am not lucky it will get confiscated at security or worse, my bags will get pulled aside for more intensive screening (meaning, I get to Europe with no luggage).
Don't forget to check the rules for your European departure airport. Others are correct, this stuff looks like and has the same characteristics as plastic explosive. Best thing to do here is to carry a letter from the prescribing MD or a copy of the prescription (if there is one).
