Help needed re carrying meds on aircraft.

Hi everyone

I am taking my mum on holiday for the 1st time to Portugal in a few weeks time (well hopefully if the planes are flying normally by then.)

Since the last time she flew, she has been diagnosied with Bipolar Disorder, that in itself is not a problem as she is very well at the moment, due to her medication, the problem I have is will we be able to take the medication in hand luggage or will it have to go in the hold?.

I really can't afford for it to get lost as if mum doesn't have her medication she could become ill very quickly so I really don't want to have to put it in the hold.

It is in tablet form in a blister pack so not liquid so I am hoping that I will be able to carry it on the plane with us.

Does anyone know whether I will have a problem at security with taking the drugs on board?

Btw we are flying with Monarch.

thanks in advance
