On another thread on this forum, someone recently cited the regulation that covers certain 'substances' and that is the rule that was applied. You will note that the website makes it perfectly clear: the screener always has the final say. This was backed up all the way up to suits. I am grateful that nothing happened on the flight and that the meds aren't expensive to replace.
