Hi there



Hope someone can give us advice. My partner is being prescribed medications following chemo and radio therapy including morphine as we are coming out to NC for a few weeks very soon. I know some countries do not allow certain medications and would be grateful if someone could give us a link to what is allowed/disallowed in NCyprus.



Look forward to any assistance. With thanks.

Daisy

Hi Daisy , this information might be out of date now , as guidelines change so rapidly , but in my experience you were allowed to take a certain amounts of morphine supported with a letter from your Dr.

Hope this helps . Simbas

Will be fine, cover yourself with a Doctors note, but rarely get checked at customs.

Hi Daisy, I take huge amounts of morphine (plus 6 other meds) - took 6 weeks supply of prescription with me during summer hols with a detailed GP's note (they didnt look at the GP's note or even asked to see it)- whilst they looked at the large amount of meds in my holdall they didnt ask any questions - very kind and helpful at airport and passport control alike..... I think if your partners meds are labelled properly you'll be fine - I'd still take a GP's note just in case tho'.... take care and god bless Jac x

If you are here and need medications with morphine, Dr. Munur prescribes some and will then give a proper prescription to take to a chemist, but only the chemist stock it(next to Tempo) on the West side, don't know about the east side.
