  My doctor originally told me that I needed to have the prescription labeling & original packaging when I travelled into the USA (with just some anti-biotics). Customs never really looked or cared though.
  
  I'd generally err on the paranoid side though if it's important medication though and just break it up after you get there. I wouldn't want to have to try and get replacements upon arrival if they confiscated them. over 10 years ago

  I agree with Michael...
  
  I have had the experience of having my meds checked by security - to the point of them actually reading the directions of how the meds are to be taken. You don't want to take a chance of being delayed or worse having them confiscated. over 10 years ago
