Murada Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hello. I just had HT surgery in India and as part of post op, I have purchased 1 year supply of Finasteride and 6 bottles of Minoxidil. Would there be any issue bringing all these medications in U.S.? I am planning to get official prescription from my HT doctor in case I am stopped at customs. Is there anything else I need to consider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also just put them in your hold luggage, the chances of being searched and asked specifically about the meds are remote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasSoldier Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 My doctor gave me a prescription here in the states and it cost $13 for a 3 month supply without insurance at Costco... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted December 1, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted December 1, 2017 A one year supply could potentially be scrutinized regarding the intention of selling the product although your doctor could always elaborate with a letter to state that the meds are for your own personal use. The worst might be having to pay a duty fee. There must be a way to find out ahead of time? Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

Senior Member gillenator Posted December 6, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted December 6, 2017 Thanks everyone. I was able to bring medication without any issue. There were no questions asked at customs. That's nice to know and especially for others who are traveling and may have a similar situation in the future.
