Does anyone have any tips on how to get these pills on board w/ me 10 PTS deff thanks

Answer 1

No one will care.  I put prescription medication in one of those daily pill boxes along with vitamins and things and no one has every said a word (including customs officials).

Answer 2

A lot of the time people have pill cases that they keep various different medications in. I think that's your best way forward. Hiding them will only draw attention to you if they do happen to find them. I have travelled across Europe and never been through an airport that minded that I had medication. Good luck!

Answer 3

The agents at the airport are not looking for pills and will not care. Just put them in a pillbox. The only people who might, and I stress might, care are the customs agents when you land. It depends on the country.

Answer 4

I take a litany of vitamins with me all the time and have never had any issues with customs/immigration.

Put them in a bottle with aspirin (or advil, tylenol) and you'll be fine.  

As long as they don't have cocaine, heroin, or other illicit drugs (which drug-sniffing dogs would pick up) you're fine.
