Bringing prescription drugs abroad

You will have no problems. Bringing them in their prescription bottles is sufficient. No one will bat an eye.

We travel with prescription medication and have never had an issue. No one has ever looked at them or asked to see them. You can carry them in the original bottles with the labels attached or remove the labels and put the pills and the label in a ziplock baggie. Have a great time!

Generally the only drug classes that cause problems abroad are opiods and some types of stimulants, and only then in some countries. Reasonable amounts of prescription medicines for personal use are no big deal, and the typical border enforcement agent has too many people to process every hour to really ask questions about what's in a normal looking prescription bottle or 'pill-a-day' holder in a carry on.

I would take a copy of any prescriptions and medicine in original bottle. If there is some sort of problem that requires you to try to get replacement medicine, a European pharmacist is not going to honor that prescription (unless it's one of the occasional cases where something by prescription in your home country is over the counter there) , but can redirect you to a medical clinic that can help you get things straightened out, and the prescription can help the European doctor more quickly get you a proper replacement

Have never had an issue.

I take all my meds in original bottles. I take a letter from my GP saying what I am taking, how much, what it is for. I needed it twice this summer. I also use a scooter. I took a copy of the manual with me. I used it in every airport I went through and it speeded-up service considerably. I take insulin and the freezer packs drive TSA crazy. They think it is C4 and have to see it every time. My scooter does too. It is swabbed, probed, wiped down every time I go through security.
