Is it a problem to bring my medication from Turkey to Germany?
For personal use you can bring up to 3 months' supply of each medication. Customs usually cause no trouble, but carry your doctor's prescription or medical report.
You can carry your medication in checked luggage too. Even if no one looks, the prescription or report makes things easier if there is a check.
For medication containing narcotics (Betäubungsmittel), such as strong painkillers, get a multilingual certificate from your doctor. It should show the doses and the active ingredient.
Check the customs (Zoll) website for the current rules.
