Do I need prescriptions at P.O.E Customs)

[yukfou 0]

Hey guys,

I was wondering If I would need prescriptions for some of my medicines. They are as follows

1. For high blood presurre (Diuza)

2. Antibiotic (Cycin) incase if I get sick

3. Cignidal fort (For stomach) I have a weak stomach and change of water might give me some trouble.

4. Multivitamins from G.N.C

I know I won't have insurance for a couple of months so I thought I should stack up on the above medicines. Do you guys think I need to get a prescription from a doctor. I really don't want custom to give me hard time for my medicines.

Any suggestions or advices will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

I would just put them in the hold baggage, shouldnt be a problem. You could always check poe rules too.

all my mom does when she comes back from over seas with her medications is have her doctor write on his paper with his stamped name and address what medications how much to take .........she always claims her meds when she flies in but so far they have not checked her they do sometimes ask whats it for she says personal use.........hope this helps u some

My husband stocked up on his meds before he moved over here permanently.

We carried them in our hand luggage.

I got all my meds and the prescriptions from the doc today. Now should I put them in checked bags or hand carry them? I think putting them in checked bags will be better so the airport security doesn't ask me a million questions about them! what do you guys think?
