Glasgow Airport has warned travellers taking medicine through security to be 'prepared' this summer.

In a clip uploaded to Facebook, the city's travel hub revealed everything holidaymakers need to know about taking medication through security. 

The video starts with the airport's security manager, Kenny, introducing himself.

The security boss went on to reveal that holidaymakers travelling with prescription medicines must have a prescription or a note from their doctor.

He also said any liquids 100ml or less may be kept in passengers' carry-on luggage; however, any medical liquids over 100ml must be taken out and subject to additional screening.

The top boss also urged travellers to 'only carry the amount of liquids' they need for their trip, and be 'prepared'.

Kenny said: "Hi, my name is Kenny. I'm the airport security manager for Glasgow Airport.

"I'm here today to explain to you how to get medicines through Glasgow Airport.

"The first thing to note is that all prescription medicines must have a prescription or a note from the doctor to bring them through.

"The security officer may ask to see your prescription, your name or a letter from the doctor.

"Any liquids at 100ml or less may be kept in your cabin baggage. Any liquid containers over 100ml must be taken out of your cabin baggage and subject to additional screening. 

"You should only carry the amount of liquids you need for your trip. If your liquids are required to be kept cool, and it's noted on your prescription, you may take an ice pack with you, which will be subject to additional screening.

"These conditions only apply to prescription medication. All other over-the-counter medications are subject to the same restrictions as all liquids. 

"Remember, we're here to get you through security safely and quickly. Being prepared is key to that."
