One option is to do both, count out the meds and as well take the containers.

But Sylvia, you need those original containers most especially for international travel. I had an entire container of an Rx drugs taken from me by US Customs at JFK because the person didn't like the looks of it. Not only was I then out of medications, but it cost me a lot of money to replace the ones taken.
I can promise you that you don't want to go through that.
Some countries, top of the list is Japan, will not let you bring any drugs in without the original containers and even some of those are not allowed. Oddly some medications for asthma are forbidden in Japan.
