Hi everyone,

Quick question please.

Google searched and it isn't very clear...

Can you take 1 pack of paracetamol and a pack of ibuprofen into KSA? They're only pain killers but it's part of my usual stuff I take abroad.

Thanks.

Thanks Nadine. Can you stick them in your main baggage do you know or do they need to be in hand luggage?

Entirely up to you. But generally, medicine should be in hand carry in case you have to take it.
