Question

Can i take a regular bottle of pain med on airplane in my purse?

Answer 1

Yes. As long it is not a liquid. That is where you have your restrictions.

Answer 2

If it's liquid and under 3oz, you should be good...Anything not liquidy is ok

Answer 3

Yes you can.  

Contrary to what others have said, you can take liquid medications in excess of 3.4oz/100ml in your carry on provided that you remove them from your bag and declare them to the security officer.  I did this when I flew with a cold and needed to take my cough medicine with me.

Per the TSA website:

Non-prescription liquid or gel medicines like cough syrup and gel cap type pills - You are allowed to carry up to 3 oz., of eye drops in a clear, one-quart plastic bag. Volumes greater than 3 oz. must be declared to the Security Officer and cannot be carried in your clear, one-quart bag. For more details see read our information on liquid medications  http://www.tsa.dhs.gov/travelers/airtrav...

Answer 4

Sure, there is no ban on medications.  Liquid or gel cap meds must be  in a 3 oz. size bottle in your ziplock bag.
