Our pharmacy recently stopped stocking their smallest size little amber-colored pill vials, and even those usually had way too much empty space. So now, there is waaaay too much empty space in those containers. Weight isn't the problem but if one has quite a few meds (regular plus the "in case of..."), that takes up a *lot* of space in those carry-ons.



We are about to do this for the first time two weeks from now, and I just wish we had thought of this some years ago. At least in the past, we were able to request the smaller bottles, and the pharmacist would put fresh labels on those, so if we had a 90 day supply of something, for example, but only needed a couple of weeks' worth, we didn't have to deal with any jumbo bottles.
