Hi

I wonder if anyone can help me on this too.

I take the contraceptive pill Microgynon which as of some time in 2008 (according to a Dubai expat website forum I found) is no longer available in Dubai. One of the substances in Microgynon is on the restricted list, which is I assume why it is no longer available there. I will be passing through on my way to Thailand next week (stopping for a couple of hours in Dubai and not leaving the airport) and I wondered if anyone knew if I can take it with me or not. I have asked the UAE Ministry of Health, who publish the list and the Dubai Health Authority, but neither have replied to me.

Many thanks

I can't give you any securities, but like one poster said above they don't bother much about contraceptive pills and I think if you don't even leave the airport it probably won't be a problem... but then again, I'm not sure. Sorry!
