DRUGS IN CANADA??

[MercerLake]

It's the same here at home in the USA keep the prescriptions in the original container, and the label had better be for you, not your friend's name. Supplements, well they have them in the markets in Canada also. A few days without your vitamins won't harm you, ( even though my wife thinks otherwise). Considering the traffic in pills, it's better to keep thing simple.
Canada is a wonderful place to visit, eye watering scenery, and lot's of good people, just like home. Have a grand trip!

i don't travel, but i was told either prescriptions or a letter from your doctor saying you take the medications

It is probably best to keep the pills in the original bottles for the duration of the trip. What happens will be determined by the people at the border crossings at that day and that time.

I have mentioned this before, but will again. Spouse and I were crossing from Skagway into Canada. Each on our own ,s. She rolled ahead before being asked. She got the full treatment. They went through all her saddlebags and trunk. Me, they just waved through. And I was carrying the prescriptions.

Thanks gang! Better to be safe than sorry. I'll carry all my drugs in their original containers.

Last night I went through the process of sorting my meds into little zip-lock bags for each day. But I'll also bring my collection of bottles, in case I have to prove what they are. I take six in the morning and four at night, so just using the bottles is cumbersome. So I like to pre-sort them.

Similar here. 12 in the AM and 4 PM. Lots and lots of bottles.

I would put them back in the bottles. A little extra time to take them out of the bottles when needed, may save you alot of headache if you are randomly searched. Besides, showing them the empty bottles doesn't mean that is what is in the baggies, and trust me, they don't like taking the time to explain things.

To be safe, just in case you are unlucky enough to be scrutinized, put them back in the bottles. Rules are rules. See my post above. If the customs folks want to ignore them you're safe, but if they want to enforce the rules, you could be SOL.

A wise choice...
Now: go have a memorable trip!
