UAE & Medication
Last year I transited only through Dubai flying with Emirates from UK to NZ. Prior to the flight I obtained a full copy of my Precsription from my UK Doctor, I also contacted Emirates for their advice. This basically was, the possession of some forms of medication for your own personal use in UAE, was not the problem. The problem was if you supplied the medication to another person.
Fairly standard stull I know, but I would suggest you contact Emirates if you are flying with them, or better still try the UAE Consulate for advice & make sure you carry copies of any correspondence with you.
Mind you when we got to Dubai, after over an hour in the hold, we only just made the connecting flight, that's life. I also was not asked any questions whatsoever or had any problems at all when going through security.
