Answer 1

you can put pills in a zipper bag, and gel or liquid mediation in a separate zipper big as long as it is prescription.  i have done this, they make exceptions for medicatiuon but it muyst be a prescription.  also go to your airlines website, they have insturctions on there also.

Answer 2

Generally you are limited to bottles of not more than 3 oz. for your liquids and gels.  

If it's not possible to put your medications in those bottles, or if they don't fit, you have to speak with a TSA agent *before* you go through security to make them aware.  They do make exceptions.

Answer 3

Yes, in the original bottle with your name on it.

Answer 4

Prescription and OTC drugs are exempt from the rule limiting the amounts of liquid/gel products in your carry on.
