What I would tell a patient flying to Lithuania
Lithuania has had limited access since 2018, and the word limited is carrying real weight.
Possession of small amounts is an administrative offence rather than a criminal one, which sounds reassuring until you remember that an administrative process still involves your medicine being taken and your trip being disrupted.
VVKT is the agency. The certificate may be relevant but it is not enough by itself. High caution, strong paperwork, and confirmation in writing before you fly.
Patient education, not legal or medical advice and not a prescription. Law changes and enforcement varies by officer and by airport. Confirm your exact product, quantity and paperwork in writing with the authority named above and with your own prescriber, and carry the reply.
