Supplements & Medications

What are the requirements regarding bringing medications and supplements into Scotland? Do I have to bring everything in original bottles? Can I just bring supplements I need in the pill boxes un labeled?

When I went to Scotland last year and England this year, I carried my meds and supplements in little plastic baggies. I was not stopped or questioned about them, and made it through security very easily and quickly.

Keep in mind that every agent is different but I do have access to all my prescriptions on MyChart, so I figured if was stopped, I could pull that out and show them. Some people carry printouts of their prescriptions, and others have their pharmacy give them extra labels to bring (with the pill bottles).
