I would say you are fine. But if they stop you at the UK border and check your bags. It will take about 10 more minutes for them to ask what is this pill and what is that pill. Worst case if you look like a junkie, they will test each pill with a machine and that can take hours. Inside schengen, it is very uncommon that someone will check your bags, but again UK is not in schengen, so you may have the same problem when going to Belgium.

>>In most countries, it is illegal to carry prescrition medications in an unlabelled container. You can be ARRESTED for that even if you actually have a prescription for them.<<
That relates to <u>controlled</u> substances. Not vitamins or most prescriptions. If one is carrying opiates and such -- OF COURSE take the labels. But for regular meds OTC/Prescription/supplements it is not required.
Not anecdotal at all . . . the TSA website says original containers and labels are not required. The British website says approx the same thing. For the UK one needs the prescription or a letter from doctor >>for <u>liquid</u> meds over 100ml.<<
