Prescription medications arriving Italian customs

There are no requirements as such. It would be prudent to carry any controlled drugs in their original containers. Otherwise, do whatever you want. We carry our prescribed meds in bottles just large enough to carry sufficient dosages for the trip (plus a few extra). Our pharmacist supplied us with the smaller bottles, and labels on request. Other people prefer to use small ziplock bags and peel the labels off their pill bottles to go onto or into the bags. Just make sure you can identify which pill is which (for your own sake, not the Customs inspector, who 99.9% of the time won't care.)

There is no requirement. Custom in Europe could absolutely not care less about what you have. You just walk through the Green door - Nothing to declare.

Not sure about your country of origin, but depending on your medications you might experience more issues with TSA (leaving the US) than when you arrive in Italy.

If you take insulin or use syringes, make sure you have a copy of the prescription label with you. This may come in handy if you find yourself short and needing additional supplies in Italy. The label in English may be easier for a doctor/pharmacist to read than trying to explain what you require.

If you're taking any substance that's controlled in the US, carry it to Europe in the original container.

I don't know of any US pharmacy which will cover more than a 90 day supply, but if you're forced to get your current meds in large bottles or boxes from a mail-order service, you can always peel off the label and put it on a plastic baggie with the corresponding meds in order to take a smaller supply for your trip.

Always take at least an extra day's worth of medicines with you. I always carry three extra days worth of anything I absolutely need. So far, that has served me well.

davis,

Since the med's are for your specific personal use, you don't need to declare them at Customs. Passport control officers don't care, but of course be sure your Passport will be valid for the duration of your stay. Be sure your prescription med's are packed in your carry-on bag.
