Inhalers

Are you allowed to take ventolin & becotide inhalers in your hand luggage? Thanks

Yes.

Although many doctors outside of the UK (where p*ssing away our taxes on pointless administrative non-jobs has a higher priority than patient care) regard Bricanyl and Symbicort (respectively) as being much more effective.

Also, since they are considered medication, they do not fall under the liquid and gel restrictions. I do recommend that you have the inhalers x-rayed seperately from your carry-on, because the xray operator may confuse them with other small aerosols and will have your bag inspected. This can save you a little bit of a headache.

Hope this helps.

I usually put them in my small bag anyway. And since mine pre-dates the prescription nonsense, (and is due for renewal now anyway), it's never had either the pharmacy label on it with prescription details (was on the box originally), or the prescription (I'm not sure we get to keep that in the UK anyway so would hope pharmacy label would suffice) and I've never had a problem.
