these meds requires a waiver ("special issuance", in FAA lingo), sometimes
just a waiting period after the last dose.


Can you or anyone else link to this list please?

The FAA doesn't publish a list of approved and disapproved meds: they say it
would change too frequently to keep current (probably true).

Good approximations of the current meds list can be found at either:
Www.aviationmedicine.com
Www.leftseat.com
