Ibuprofen 200 mg tabs - for pain
Docusate sodium 100 mg tabs - for constipation

I'm staying in Japan for 4 nights and will bring just a few tabs of each. I've read the info on the Japan Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare as well as the US Embassy, and I believe that I do not have to declare these medications. Can someone confirm this? I'm a little paranoid as I do not want to be arrested on arrival.

I carry usually about a week's supply of some of the same things plus BP medications & an anti-coagulant. Have had no problem or even any questions over the course of 5+ trips over the past few years.
