Medication Exception to the Liquids Rule

Liquid medications, and other medically necessary liquids (including gels and freezer packs used to cool them), are exempt from the 3.4 oz / quart-bag limit in carry-on bags — you may bring them in reasonable quantities needed for your trip.

You must declare these items to a TSA officer at the checkpoint for additional screening; they do not need to be in the quart-size bag with your other liquids.

Medication does not need to be in its original prescription packaging, but keeping it labeled is recommended in case you need to explain it. Solid medication (pills, tablets) has no quantity limit in either carry-on or checked baggage.
