Pills are fine.

See the TSA website for a list:

Be sure your Rx is in its original container as a friend had difficulty with a bottle of lots of differant pills together (tylenol, advil, etc)...

Thank you

I've never had that problem in about 15 flights, and that TSA agent was overstepping their authority.

Wow, in all my trips to WDW or elsewhere, I have never had an issue with pills, they've never even looked at my medications.

My prescription meds just go in my carryon..no issues at all. TSA has never even looked at them.

Liquids are fine. Just follow your 3-1-1 rule:

Have a great trip!

Definitely. I fly several times a year and always just have my regular meds in a pill organizer. Other PRN meds like Excederin, Motrin, Darvocet, Antivert, Colace, Peptobismol tablets, etc I put in another pill organizer with each med assigned it's own slot. I never carry the bottles and in probably over 50 flights in just the last few years, have never even had someone give my pills a second look. TSA is there to catch liquids, gels, and explosives, not for drug enforcement. Heck I carry a Victoza pen with needles and usually a glucometer with lancets. I do pull out the Victoza pens and needles and put it in a bin, but just because it's liquid. It's an individual pen so is not labeled though. It too has never received a second glance.

My husband takes more meds than I do and travels with a 30 day pill organizer all the time. He never takes the bottles or prescriptions and never takes it out of his bag. He has never received a second glance either. My mom always travels with her meds in 7 day organizers and never carries the bottles or copies of her scripts either. She just leaves them in her carry on. She also travels with quite a few diabetic supplies, but all she ever pulls out and puts in a bin are four bottles of insulin and their syringes. Again she's never had anyone even give her meds a second glance. My mother in law is on tons of medications and alot of high powered narcotic pain meds as well. She always travels with everything in 30 day pill organizers.

I just copied this from the TSA website. Bolding is mine:

All medications in any form or type (for instance, pills, injectables, or homeopathic) and associated supplies (syringes, Sharps disposal container, pre-loaded syringes, jet injectors, pens, infusers, etc.) are allowed through the security checkpoint once they have been screened. Atropens, an auto-injection system that can help treat many emergency conditions (low heart rate, breathing problems, and excess saliva related to insecticide, nerve gas or mushroom poisoning) are also allowed.

We do not require that your medications be labled.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) migraine inhalers and CO2 refills.

Medications in daily dosage containers are allowed through the checkpoint once they have been screened.

I also take my meds in pill boxes, never been an issue. The only time I took the bottles was when I went to India.

I am guessing I can't carry on a razor to shave I have to wait until I get to CA to buy one of those and I am guessing I have to buy deodorant once I get there as well only because I use the gel kind. vrs the stick. Is tooth past allowed on board what about electronic tooth brush. Sry about the long list but I appreciate the help

 

[bumbershoot]

I've brought a shaver in my carryon, and an electric toothbrush is fine.

If you can get a toothpaste in a travel size, 3.4 oz or under, that's fine. But you can't take a full sized toothpaste on, even if there's only a tiny bit left in the container.

And correct, if the gel deodorant is over 3.4 oz, you can't bring it on, but the stick kind you can.



The shaver info is in that link from above. A safety razor isn't permitted (strangely, those are the desperately UN-safe ones, the one with an actual razor blade), but "disposable razors and their cartridges are permitted".

That is good to know thanks
