Medication

guys whats the best way to travel with a bunch of vitamins that i take. I don't want to travel with 8 big bottles.

should I just put count them out and place in 1 smaller bottle and then check them (1 small bottle with a bunch of different pills) ??

may not have room in my carry on as that is reserved for important/essential items.

Re: Medication

my big concern with your idea is, if your bags are searched, they may be mistaken for prescription meds and you won't have a prescription for them

and hopefully, they all look different, so you won't mix them up....

can you just buy smaller bottles of the vitamins? that way you'll always have "travel" bottles that you can refill when neccesary

Re: Medication



i keep perscription meds in their original bottles so that they cant question anything.

Vitamins and the rest, I have had no issues when I have put them in smaller bottles for space saving reasons.

I wouldnt put them all in one bottle cause that may be conscrewed (sp?) as you trying to hide something amongst legitimate things.

In checked bags? I'd leave them mixed together in a Vitamin bottle and take your chances.
Most vitamins don't look like Rx drugs. They're usually much bigger.

I don't worry so much about what they'll confiscate so much as what dem ooda tief from my checked bags.

Re: Medication



no, I never check my medication - guarantee that my checked luggage will be lost And a couple of them I cant go even a day without.

I have been questioned so that is why I dont like to mix things up. For the prescription stuff, I find when they can see the pharmacy and place a quick call, they are cool with everything else.

Re: Medication

so I think mixed together in 1 bottle

I dont really have smaller bottles of them. that would mean me going out and buying 7-8 smaller bottles and they might not be the type I like (softgel as opposed to tablet)



sigh if i get arrested so be it

Re: Medication

ok none of them are prescribed. just regular drugstore nonFDA approved vitamins

Re: Medication

ziploc bags!

i just throw my vitamins into one big one all mixed up together, but of you want to keep stuff separate, the snack-size ones are great.
