This is from the official US Customs and Border Protection website, of the Office of Homeland Security:
"Prescription medications should be in their original containers, it is advised that you travel with no more than personal use quantities, a rule of thumb is no more than a 60 day supply. If medications or devices are not in their original containers, you should have a copy of your prescription with you. Medicinal purchases that you make abroad may be subject to FDA restrictions, which are detailed on our web site. If you are traveling with medical devices such as needles or oxygen tanks that could pose a security or safety concern to others, be sure to have a copy of the prescription for those items from your doctor. You should also contact the Transportation Safety Administration about any additional requirements they may have. "
Good Luck. Have a nice trip. John B.

Just keep your meds in the original bottles/packages. Ensure that the label is legible and includes the pharmacy information (contact info), and the name of the medication contained. Never change the package of your medication while traveling...can raise suspicion/difficulty. Happy travels!

Perscription medication should remain in the original container.
