We are headed to Australia next week and only just found out that one has to declare prescription meds upon entry at Customs. My BP and asthma shouldn't be too much of an issue as they are pretty common but I also take a testosterone hormone treatment because mine became very low.

Come to find out just about all forms of the stuff are illegal there and I am having to apply for an import permit which may or may not arrive before I depart. So I have been told on some travel forums that they may confiscate it which sucks because it is expensive and one needs to taper off of it and avoid suddenly stopping.

Other then that I'm excited about the trip!
