Export of medicines - who exported how much?
Tell me, who took out how many packs of medicines from Egypt? Were there problems at the airport? Did you open your suitcase? Is it better to pack between things? I want to buy medicines, I was very interested in these moments. Thanks.

Well, everything seems to depend on the volume of export. I often took out purchased medicines and insulin for the treatment of the liver (for relatives for several courses), but these are all volumes that do not cause suspicion, but about all sorts of children from the throat, temperature, stomach. If your suitcase is filled with medicines alone, then questions may be asked.

In Sharm, they bought ointments, creams, toothpaste (in the amount of 40-50 boxes) they went through customs without any problems.
In Hurghada, this spring, they stopped because of 15 boxes of toothpaste. I had to open the suitcase and show. Looked, filled in the magazine, asked to sign and free. Nearby, tourists were stopped and examined, with 5 bottles of hair liquid .... So once in a while - it’s not necessary.
Where and how you will pack - no difference, because. everything is visible on the x-ray, they want to stop.

Elenka08, the first is very high-quality drugs, and secondly, their cost. For example, drugs for the treatment of the liver (which I buy for relatives) the difference is just crazy. I drive my mother-in-law's insulin because there is nothing to do. Well, there are no fakes, pacifiers that you can run into with us.

Insulin is prescribed by a doctor, no one injects himself. I would personally aspire to inject Egyptian insulin if I had to inject it. Well, something like this.

Arrived in November from Hurghada! They brought a lot of things, and vitamins, and omega, painkillers, antiviral drugs, in total there were 20-30 boxes, everything was in a suitcase! They transported us without problems! But, we asked the pharmacy to make us a prescription for all the drugs (with seals and signatures), though the prescription was not useful to us!

In October we flew from Sharm. At the control they asked: "Medications?" and asked to open the suitcase. Opened, looked without much attention, allowed to go. No additional decoration.

Just do not take a full suitcase of medicines))) with this you are guaranteed special attention at all customs, in any country. And small quantities of Egyptian customs officers are not of interest. You see, they shake the "couriers", those who carry in batches. The suitcase can easily be asked to open and sort through the whole. Do not transport anything prohibited - it will turn out extremely badly. Never agree to requests to bring such and such a medicine from there for someone. It may turn out to be something that is generally prohibited in Russia / Ukraine and the problems will no longer be at the Egyptian customs (for example, nose drops with ephedrine may turn out to be). If you know exactly what you are carrying and this is purely for yourself, then don’t worry about anything.

In September, I brought medicines from Sharm in 50 packs of suitcases - there were no problems, my friends brought even more - there were no problems in Yegi, but the Ukrainian customs turned them inside out, found prohibited ones, which are freely available in Yegi (it contained pseudoephedrine in the minimum quantity), got off with a warning, Egi has really very high-quality medicines and, compared to our prices, they are cheap!, I didn’t know this before, these are acquaintances who were moved at customs, they told us, they are doctors and understand this issue, and they also said, that in Yegi the death penalty is for counterfeiting medicines, and therefore everything is so clear with quality there.

A friend was diagnosed with hepatitis C (this is liver cancer, practically a verdict, since the cost of treatment in Ukraine with the proposed drugs here turned out to be simply unbearable). They began to look for an alternative, and the option of treatment with Egyptian-made drugs was proposed. The price of the course was more than half cheaper. The case was three years ago. My friend is alive and doing well.

moy_contakt, now hepatitis C is no longer a sentence and we now have affordable treatment. So did a friend remove the virus from the body or just support the liver? These are different types of treatment and different results.

elenka08,
Pantogar in Egypt costs about UAH 250, for comparison - in Ukraine the lowest price for it is from UAH 700. Vitamins are really very good for hair and nails. Carefully read the instructions for them - there are a number of serious contraindications for them.

in Egypt I buy exactly medicines, not dietary supplements, the quality is very good, it’s not realistic to buy a dummy or a fake and the price is always lower! and from cholelithiasis (dissolving stones), hormonal drugs, etc., not to mention all sorts of cryons, hepatoprotectors, etc.
there are very good injections antispasmodics + analgesics (2 in 1)
the last time I brought medicines for a course of treatment, about 60 packs, everything is ok

I read and was shocked how many sick people drink handfuls of pills, no offense, maybe it’s better not to fly to Egypt five times a year for medicines, but to Truskavets for treatment?

Greetings
nutik27, I believe that you are asking about the possibility of withdrawing specific drugs: Sofosbuvir + Daclatasvir or Sofosbuvir + Ledipasvir for Hepatitis C.
This is not analgin or pantogar, which are written about above.
These are drugs subsidized by Egypt specifically for the Egyptians.
They are meant to heal the Egyptians. Previously, they were practically freely exported. Now the situation has changed somewhat. She hesitates. Now once in a while it is not necessary.
These drugs are periodically withdrawn upon detection (framed in the light).
And periodically, tourists manage to export - in the amount necessary for personal use (that is, for 12 weeks). At the same time, the tourist must prove documented that he personally needs the medicines.
Sometimes customs officers may simply not notice these medicines in luggage, but this happens less and less often.
I recommend choosing one of the following options:
- or pour the pills into a package of some vitamins
- or buy the same Egyptian medicines in your own country

zolyshka111, I wrote that hepatitis C is a verdict if there is no money for treatment, and we collected money for her all over the world ... it was precisely a course of treatment for hepatitis with Egyptian-made drugs. The difference was more than two times, and this despite the fact that these medicines were brought to her on order (they were also paid for their services).

Pandogar in Egypt - 5 dollars, not even in a state pharmacy (or bargain). I brought my mother-in-law 10 pack Hepabene + 10 pack Hepaforte (30 tablets each) (we have about 10 dollars, in Egypt 1.5 dollars) + 5 cans of a drop in the eye, in Sharm_February_2019 there was a little swing, they opened the suitcase and asked why why and what we were carrying. As a result, they fought a little and let us through without any additional payments, but they rustled everything from the collar to the 360 scanner. In April_2019, I brought Sofosbuvir + Daclatasvir to my mother-in-law for a course of about $ 200 for 12 weeks (we have from 1000 USD), the test for hepatitis C is already negative. Prices are cheaper not by 2, but by 5-10 times!!!
I recommend buying at the state pharmacy El Ezaby, they give a check for medicines, which in extreme cases can be presented at Egyptian customs. P.S. Sofosbuvir + Daclatasvir ordered 2 times in a pharmacy immediately upon arrival, they barely managed to bring it from Cairo by the end of the holiday

She took out everything different, syrups, suspensions and antibiotics, incl. cosmetics is about 25/20. There were no questions at all. Hurghada has a good pharmacy in a large shopping center. I unfortunately forgot the name, in the area of hotels Alibaba, Aladdin. 10 minutes on foot. There is also a local store like Auchan. Lots of goodies at a reasonable price.

They brought a lot, more than $ 100, both from Sharm and from Hurghada. Take a check at the pharmacy, take it in your original packaging, do not shift. In Hurghada, they divided the suitcases into two equally, one was opened, no drugs were found, and that's it.
