help! I am traveling to Riyadh, Saudia Arabia by plane. Am I allowed to bring my blood pressure medication (losartan-hctz) and vitamin Apple Cider Vinegar capsules into the country?

Hello Leonardv2,

Welcome on board !

Till members shed the light on your queries, maybe contact your flight operator to enquire. Do you have a prescription ?

Start with the above as a guide but I would recommend checking with your airline before you travel.

Saudi embassy sites are also likely to be helpful.

Vitamins no issue.

For the other medicine, just carry a prescription or doctor's note with you. Don't bring in more than a month's supply...........in this case, they won't even bother asking you.
