Have only traveled to Canada and Mexico, but no one questioned us about medications. We didn't have to report what we had, and no one asked if we had anything. My only recommendation would be that you make sure all meds are in the prescription bottles in case they would question you.

I had been advised to bring my meds in their original containers, so that's what I did. No problems - no one asked me about them. My firm recommendation is be sure to bring them in your carry-on baggage.

I would add to always carry more than you need in case their in a delay in returning home,expecially if in a Third World country.Never put them in the luggage that goes in the hold, but as others have said,keep them on you at all times.The only problems I have heared about is when medication is large and bulky and exceeds the cabin allowance.

So far I've been to Kenya and Ireland. I carried the original containers, in my carry on just in case the luggage got lost, and on my key chain pill holder. I always take far more than I will need, just in case. The pill holders are great, I've never been asked about the medication, I have two on my key chain.

I travel all over the world, some short trips and several long trips (2-3 months) and I carry all my medications (3 months supply of 5 different pills + vitamins + whatever other stuff I am taking) in my carry on bag. My carryon bag is pretty much full of medications and I look like a walking pharmacy! I always carry doctor's prescription and meds in the original container. I have been to several countries in Europe, Dubai, Singapore, Hongkong and India. So far, I have not had any problem at the airports, never been stopped or questioned about the meds or the mini-pharmacy in my carryon bag.
