TSA has no authority beyond determining that the item is not WEI or prohibited.
This is like talking to an inanimate object

What if to determine that the item is not WEI or prohibited the TSO needs to open the container holding such "medicine"?

My point is simple - just calling it "medicine" does not make you exempt from having them open the container.
