Liquids include gels, pastes, liquid cosmetics, liquid/dry mixes and the contents of pressurised containers, e.g. toothpaste, hair gel, drinks, soups, syrups, butter spreads, perfumes, shaving foam, aerosols and other similar articles.
Medicine and food for special dietary use (including puree and formula for babies) are allowed in carry-on luggage. As they will be screened, we advise you to pack liquid medicine and food for special dietary use so that they are easy to present to the security officer.

There are no aviation security restrictions on solid medicine. Liquid medicine over 100 ml requires proof that it is your medicine and that you need it during the trip. Such medicine will be screened by the airport using special technology.
