hi I'm flying to moscow in one week's time for a 4 day tourist trip. I want to know if I have to declare ventolin inhaler medication for asthma condition at customs? If so do I need to carry my doctor's prescription with me? Is it possible to bring non prescription medication into Russia? Looking forward so much to the visit!

Bringing the inhaler and meds into Russia will present no problem and require no documentation. You won't have the time or language skills, but it would blow your mind to discover how cheap asthma inhalers and common meds are in Russia..... A US $50 inhaler is less than five bucks in Moscow, no prescription necessary.
