leaving thrusday - question..
 

Well it is finally here - we leave Thursday morning and are getting excited! Paris (which seems to be very cold and dreary) Montreux, Florence and Rome... yeah!

I am basically packed --- my dh had a question this morning though as I was packing my vitamins...

I had told him that he needs to have all his meds in their orginal bottles - he was wondering about vitamins? We do not want to bring the large bottles they come in - will it be a problem?? I know..silly question from a novice over seas traveler...

Thanks in advance!!!!

Your meds don't need to be in their original containers. The TSA website only recommends having original labels if possible, and says nothing about orig. containers.

Having labels and/or prescription slips would ease screening if the agent has any "issues" - but nowhere are original containers required.

Thanks Janisj - and I realized I did not even spell Thursday right! A little nervous about this trip!!

here is some info from the TSA website

>>It is recommended, not required, that the label on prescription medications match the passengers boarding pass. If the name on prescription medication label does not match the name of the passenger, the passenger should expect to explain why to the security
officers. <<

and

>>Non-liquid or gel medications of all kinds such as solid pills, or inhalers are allowed through the security checkpoint once they have been screened. We recommend, but do not require, that your medications be labeled to assist with the screening process.<<
