I’ve brought up to a years supply of medication (5-6 different pills, about 5000 pills total) back from Sri Lanka last year. I had removed the boxes they came in, as they took so much space up. To be able to fit in my carryon, most were in factory blister packs. No customs even glanced at them except for Sri Lanka when exiting. No pain killers, or other really restrictive medications.
Suggest you keep a boxed pills of one each
