Taking an asthma inhaler on plane

[luvwinnie]

I don't have the box my Xopenex came in. Do you think I have to get something from dr. stating what it is? Last time they never looked at it at all.

I know they never questioned ds's inhaler either but if I were you I would get a note just in case. I know I have the type of luck that if I didn't have the note, or box it would be the one time the would have an issue with it.

We never had an issue.

I alwys have the original box with the presciption label for DS's Xopenex. I also have a note from the Dr as well.

the first time i flew after the new restrictions were imposed, i had a label on the canister and the original box. they never looked at it. i just flew to denver and back in august and i competely forgot about the labels. i had my inhaler in my carryon, no label, no baggie, and it was fine.

We have flown back and forth to FL many times with it, both Orlando and Tampa and they never looked at it, we then flew out to LAX from Philly, once again they never looked at it. But then we flew back from LAX and the TSA agent took it out of the bin and held it up and open the bag, didnt take anything out but did give it a more closer look than we ever had before.

I always have mine in my purse and it has never been questioned. I can't imagine why they would be concerned about asthma medicine.

Green Tea, if it's not in the box with a name I guess someone could put something sinister in the container? Well, someone could still do it even if it is there med I guess, but having the original box looks more legit I guess.

I've never had trouble and I've had it with and without the the prescription label.

I take my Xopenex on the plane all of the time and have never had an issue. Does yours come in the little ampules? If so, I don't think they will give you any issues.

Do you take your neb too?
