How are things going with the export of medicines from Egypt?
Interested in the export of medicines from Egypt. Previously rowed with bags. Almost half a suitcase people took out. Yes, I know about 10 packs per person. But it was about pills. What about ointments, drops and oils? Tablets from 2-3 packs were all put in one, I know they were taken out and 20-30 packs per person. But that was a year ago. Beginning of 2021. They say they check harder and tightened the measures and see how much they take out. Is it really possible to take out that much now? I have many relatives and they all want drugs from Egypt. They are certainly much better than ours. But I don't want to risk it. Extra problems are not needed. But how much can you really withdraw? Not for sales purposes. Who could withdraw how much? Is it being closely monitored and monitored now? Checks required? Were there situations when they did not miss or took away a part? Is it possible to carry a part in hand luggage?

we went to Egypt in September, took a lot of medicines for the stomach and liver, 15 packs each, and a lot of other things for the throat, cough, vitamins, stomach, sprays, ointments, etc. in general, if you put more than half in one suitcase, it will definitely be. some packs of medicines (records) were put in one box, all the medicines were placed in 2 suitcases. no one said anything, asked questions, and did not open the suitcases. in hand luggage, I would not advise you to take risks.

One of the most popular topics on this site, sort it - it has answers to your questions.
And in short - the export of medicines is a lottery, as someone is lucky. But I do not advise putting medicines in hand luggage.

In hand luggage, you can carry only the amount of medicine that is necessary for consumption during the flight, one package is already a lot, the rest will be taken away at the last check, when the baggage has already been checked in

Yes, they’ve been checking specifically for the last year, really what vezha2 answered “as someone is lucky.”
"There were situations when they did not miss or took part" - there were many situations that they took everything, not a part, and the checks did not help
"I have many relatives and everyone wants drugs from Egypt" - if they want drugs from Egypt so much, this is not a problem on social networks Instagram and FB there are groups like "Sharm Pharmacy", "Hurghada Pharmacy", "Egypt Pharmacy" where your relatives will bring any medicine from the pharmacies of Egypt.

From personal experience, if you need to bring 10-15 packages of the same drug, do not unpack!!! and place 3-4 packages in the corners of each luggage, not so thrown on the scanner at the entrance to the airport + mix with Ukrainian medicines. It is also better to have 3-4 checks so that the quantity and amount are not conspicuous. Ointments drops and oils are definitely only in luggage, between clothes, in the store they twist each bottle into a newspaper, it helps, nothing has ever leaked. Having bought it yourself in Sharma pharmacies, you are guaranteed to receive a 100% original drug and with a price that is not commensurate in social networks

Be careful with the drugs 123 for colds, and decancit sr for the common cold.
They contain narcotic components.
And they are prohibited from being imported into Ukraine. Up to criminal liability.
People are saved by the fact that all the boards with the EG go through the green corridor, and in Kyiv no one checks anything. And so, theoretically, right from the plane you can go not home but to the pre-trial detention center.
These drugs are not prohibited for export from the EG.

There have NEVER been any problems with the transportation of medicines, from Egypt, from Turkey, from London (UK), from Kyiv (I always take the necessary medicines with me). Only everything must be packed in a suitcase and put in luggage, but do not take 10-20 packages of the same name!

The export of medicines is allowed, but there are medicines by composition that cannot be exported. We were told by a guide (from Ukraine), who has been living in Hurghada for 25 years, and her husband works at the airport.
