The worst I can imagine happening if you behave reasonably is that the meds might be confiscated, and that would be a stretch. Just don't hide anything, and you'll be fine.
Hi Doc, what do you mean though by hiding them? I'm not sure how one would do that, but it's been brought up a few times now. I want to be 100% sure to NOT do that. It is my intent to just get through customs and yes, the amount is reasonable in that it's under a month U.S. prescription from my long-term family doctor.

I plan to put them in the original bottle in a ziploc bag in my purse, which is how I've always carried them when traveling. That is the right way, correct?
