Re: Tourist with Maintenance Medicine upon Entry or Landing to USA


CAN YOU STOP CONFUSING THE OP - please!!!!

He was asking about his HYPERTENSION maintenance medication, that's
blood pressure pills, in case you do not know what hypertension is.

No customs officer is going to be interested in ACE-inhibitors,
betablockers, diuretics or whatever else the OP is taking to keep his
blood pressure under control!!!

How many people entering the US do you think carry blood pressure
medication, seeing that hypertension is probably THE most common
condition that people suffer from?

Do you honestly think customs officers have time to check BP meds - or
are even remotely interested?

Everytime I travel back in to the US I have hypertension medication in
my hand luggage and I have never once declared it. No one has ever
batted an eyelid when it shows up on x-ray.
