Prescription medication when travelling to USA

[onebusymum]

Has anyone taken antibiotics to America? If so did you take your prescription? Getting conflicting information online!
we just saw a pharmacist, so no prescription was given .

Have you tried the FDA website ?

I @oncemoreuntothebeachdearfriends Im not sure, Ive been on that many different ones ! I’ll look now, thank you.
o can always ring my doctors up in the morning

We went last Autumn and made sure to take all meds in their original boxes plus our lovely pharmacist printed out a copy of the repeat prescription for us. We didn’t need any of it. No one asked or checked any of it. And it was in our carry on.

Custom and Border Protection (CBP) do customs so the following is probably as close to authoritive source as you can get...

Keep your antibiotics in the original packet or container. There should be no issues bringing those in.

Very unlikely to even be asked if carrying small amounts but have the packaging and access to the nhs app with it listed if English, not sure if other countries have similar

Thanks for the replies, we got the prescriptions from the doctors and kept with the box
