    Silly Question, But...

    If plan to return back to Canada shortly after the procedure with Gho, is there the possibility that customs and security could confiscate the pills that Gho gives you for recovery? Are they legal in North America/Canada? I know I'm maybe being overcautious, but I'd hate to see a $12,000 procedure go down the tubes because of this. I don't want to put them in my check-in baggage either, because I've had airlines loose it.

    They shouldn't have an issue. I was able to store RU58841 in my check-in baggage without anyone sniffing it out (I'm in Canada as well). Its not contraband so it should be fine as a carry-on as well. I would however, ask authorities the final go ahead.

    Try getting a doctors note and stuff as well just in case and explain to them what its for.

      That's actually you SHOULD do (recommended) - simply put all the "things" you got in the clinic in your check-in baggage - especially the Minoxidil bottle, because at the airport they do not really like "any fluids or creams" in your hand baggage.

      Furthermore, IF you indeed encounter any problems at the airport (what ever the reason), didn't you got the "TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN" letter in the clinic?

      This letter confirms that you had a treatment in Gho's clinic and that all these "things" you got belong to this treatment.

          They allow up to 200ml of fluids, but theyre picky about all of it anyway. I usually hold in my carry-on a styling stick for my hair, which is basically just a thick wax and pretty much a solid (Tigi Bedhead). They still classified that as a liquid, but its ok since its my only 'liquid' and is only 75ml (or 7oz?). Its this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OILkvwL3Fcw

          But its best to keep all and any liquids in the baggage anyway. Far less problems that way, and lost luggage is very rare. (I did approximately 15 flights last year across 9 countries without issues and kept my RU58841 in baggage).
