Bringing Prescription Drugs in Qatar

Greetings to all!

I have diabetes and in a maintenance medicine. My question is, is it legal to bring maintenance medicine into Qatar? Do i have to secure anything to ensure smooth processing in immigration?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance :-)

Just make sure that the prescription label is clearly shown on the boxes. Shouldn't be a problem though.

Whatever you're using is probably available here but under a different name.

Ask your doctor for the name and concentration of the active ingredients so you can get the product locally.

It's technically illegal to bring medicines into the country so this just takes care of all the worries.
