Questions About Medications That Affect Pilot Medical Certification

Although many medications are acceptable for FAA medical certification, there is no "official" list of disqualifying medications for pilots to reference. Some online resources don't consider other medication interactions or waiting periods before flying. When your career or joy of flying is at risk, don't take chances with sources that are not affiliated leading Aerospace Medicine experts.

Ask a Mayo Clinic flight physician questions about a specific drug or class of medications. They can address whether a medication is disqualifying or what action is required to have it considered by the FAA.

Decipher FAA Correspondence Request Assistance

Sometimes more than one option may apply to your situation. For example, you may have a medical condition and also receive a letter from FAA. If that is the case, simply choose one track and follow through with as much detail as possible. The Mayo Clinic flight physician will be able to respond either way.
