Traveling abroad with leviteracetam

Thu, 05/02/2019 - 10:36
Hi there! I am headed to Norway this weekend for two weeks and will obviously be bringing my prescription with me. I know I should carry my prescription card with me and my dr business card but is there anything else i should grab?

Wow, which country puts addresses in a passport? Glad there are no addresses in our bottle labels or passports.Make sure to have your medication in your carry ons and not in checked luggage.
