If the medication I travel with are not on those two PDF then I would have nothing to do (except take a copy of prescription and the original packaging with me), including at customs/immigration. Does recent experiences agree with this ?
Nothing is required. Just bring along a copy of the prescription documentation/order/receipt, whatever your pharmacy or doctor gives you. I carry the info with me no matter where I travel to. Just in the event of an emergency, you'll have all the information to provide to some one. I've been in and out of Dubai numerous times, still in Dubai now, and not once have they ever looked at my medications or supplements. I carry a full shopping bag full of all kinds of vitamins and a few prescriptions that will last all my travels, 90+ days and not one country I've been to asked about them. I stock pile them off Amazon U.S. because they're cheaper than buying anywhere else I travel. Even cheaper than the Amazon in Dubai (UAE).
Don't worry you'll be fine.
