Travel with medication

Question

Asked for Female, 20 Years

I will be going to Turkey soon, but I am taking the Rigevidon contraceptive pill. I am worried as Turkey has strict rules about bringing things into the country, and I am unsure if my medication would be a problem. I would only be taking 14 pills with me, and the medication is still in its original packaging with my name on it, but I don’t have my prescription. Do you need a letter from your doctor to take this pill into Turkey? Would you be able to provide information on this for me?
