4.Re: Personal medication to Bali

Prescription medication should be listed on the letter from your GP/Dr.
I understand why you want the prescription as well as the letter (Australian Prescriptions cannot be filled at a chemist in Bali) but i don't see the need to take a script as well if your GP/Dr has included all your prescription medication/s in the letter.
Ask your GP/Dr if they could also write a list of the non prescription medications to ease your worrying.
You are only carrying the quantity needed (for yourself) for the length of your trip & all medication/s (prescription & over the chemist counter/health food shop etc) should be kept in their original box/bottle with labels attached.
Carry medication in your hand luggage, remember any liquids greater than 100ml must be packed in your check-in luggage.
I have taken e.g Calcium & probiotics, Ibuprofen, Imodium/Gastro-Stop, Tums antacid tablets & for the first time last year injections. In my passport folder i carried a letter from my specialist re the injections.
On the Customs Declaration form is the question relating to medications & you tick the box Yes or No
I am (We are) bringing:
Narcotics, psychotropic substances, precursor drugs
The Customs Declaration is a legal document, so answer the question/s honestly e.g Yes or No.
We arrived after midnight last year & there was a mass of tourists walking with luggage towards the Customs staff, (two Customs officers either side of a stand) (we did not pass through the red or green channel).
I handed our form to the Customs officer, she turned it over & then nodded for us to pass through.
