Answer 7

Yes, If you are going on anything, anywhere, you should put your madications in their original bottles, it would be VERY smart of you if you did. If you don`t it could get on the floor and a child could pick them up thinking it was candy, I know this from prier experiences!!!!!!

Answer 8

Yes,   You must keep all of your med in their original container. Due to customs, and immigrations. You should also carry another prescription with you in case you might have to have it filled if you run out.  You can get into a lot of trouble and possibility go to jail if you can not show that they are yours.

Answer 9

Without a doubt.  And if you can carry an emergency presription in case of bag theft.
