the reason why ibuprofen is hard to get is because for colds and painkillers it is often combined with codine and this is a banned substance in Dubai although perfectly legal in UK

If you are desperate for them, i can bring you over a bundle (without the codine obviously) next time i am over

I believe your bags will be searched no matter what drugs you bring in bulk. My relatives had drugs thrown away by customs in front of them.

That is drug abuse by custom officials. Should not throw things...

There is no restrictions on analgesics as long as they dont contain banned substances like codine. So asprin, paracetemol and ibuprofen are fine in any quantity
