Liquid medicine on flight

I am travelling to Ireland next week. I have all the info. about liquids in hand luggage, and have a transparent resealable bag for my lipgloss and other suspect items, but what about my glyceryl trinitrate spray which I am supposed to carry with me at all times? The bottle says that it contains 11.2g - is that under 100ml? And if I have my prescription with me, will that be OK?

Thanks for any information on this.

The simplicity of the metric system allows you to deduce that the contents of your bottle are likely to be somewhere between 10 and 12 millilitres, depending on the specific gravity of the liquid. It would be safer to have the prescription or a doctorś letter with you but there is no reason to think you will not be allowed to pass, provided the total hand carried liquid content including creams and pastes is at most 100ml.

Wrong information from KARL.
Your plastic see thru bag can contain any number of items UNDER 100ml each, so yes your gt spray can go in there too, as it's well under 100 ml.
There is no limit to the number of items you can carry, providing they all fit in the plastic bag and they are all under 100ml. Have a safe trip....

Thanks for that clarification. I have found a nice small transparent bag into which everything fits and the lipgloss, mascara and other essentials(!) that I carry around with me are miniature ones anyway. Everything else is organised - all I have to do now is fit that large pile of clothes into that small suitcase!!!

You don't need a 'nice' small bag, you need one of the regulation size. I use the Asda 35 small resealable food and freezer bags. These are the exact size and I have used them a few times on flights with no problem whatsoever.
