It's the same in Germany in many other countries. The concept of "prescription labels" doesn't exist here. You go to the pharmacy, you surrender the prescription and you get your med, which is packaged like any OTC med. Basically, millions of foreign travellers are now at risk when travelling to, from and within the U.S., and it's especially hard for all tourists that flew into the U.S. before 8/10, as they can't bring along their essential meds on continuing flights and/or their return home. Then again, all this makes them safer, right?
