Hi,

I have to join an organisation in Jeddah on a year contract, my query is that can I carry my medicine along with me in a luggage for a year as that medicine is very costly in saudi. The medicine is not a controlled medicine as per Saudi food and drug department website.

Thanks

Saudi law is harsh so double check everything.
Also, post the name of the drug on this thread so other posters can try to assist or offer advice.

Thanks Fred for the reply, sure I will update the name of the medicine along with its generic name.
