Any liquid prescription that follows the 3-1-1 rule can be carried onto the plane. The 3-1-1 rule: liquid prescriptions must be in a bottle no larger than 3.4 ounces; they must be placed in a single Ziploc bag; and each passenger is limited to one bag. If the prescription is larger than 3.4 ounces, it must be declared orally and in writing.
Any non-liquid medication can be carried onto an airplane, and medications do not need to be labeled. If you have any questions, check with the airline or the Transportation Security Administration.
All medications and accompanying supplies must be screened by security. Screening usually involves X-raying. Visual screening of medication is possible, but you must ask.
Items related to a passenger's disability can be allowed through security. These may include casts, crutches, cranes, walkers, hearing aids, service animals and support braces.
If you have a disability, getting through airport security can be difficult. Ask for special assistance from security officers if you need it. In some cases, such as when asking to be patted down as opposed to going through the metal detector, it is not necessary to disclose your medical condition.
