My husband and I both put all our meds into compartment containers (mine goes a whole month; husband two weeks.) Can we not take them this way across the border? He takes some in the morning and some in the evening and needs to keep them separated in compartments. It will be very inconvenient to have them back in their RX bottles while traveling in Canada.
Like I posted previously, I travel with my meds each weekend to our seasonal site in upstate NY. I carry a small pill box and only bring what I will need while away from home and I have never had a problem. I have been asked (though rarely) if I have any drugs and I always reply that I'm carrying prescription medication and I state what they are for.
They are not looking for personal use quantities of prescription meds, they are looking for contraband or large volumes for resale.
