Hello, it's been a while.
I'm going on a six-month student exchange in the UK in a couple of months, and I have a question about the rules regarding prescription medications in the United Arab Emirates. I take prescription medication for my asthma, and to save money on the prescriptions, I'll be bringing six-months worth of the medication with me. I'm doing a stopover in the Dubai before I enter the UK, and I'm not sure what to do with the medication.
I have two option: Either I bring just enough medication for a month with me to the UAE, then mail everything else to the UK with the requisite PBS and customs forms; or I bring the entire six-month's supply of medication into the UAE.
From your experience, what should I do? I'm too keen on breaching customs rules in a country where it's illegal to kiss someone in public.
