I'm confused about taking along pills on airplanes

[Don C]

Getting ready to fly to Orlando where we will meet up with the grandkids (and their parents); wife and I have prescription pills that need to go along. After reading several links, I know that we can carry them in our carryon bags. BUT do they have to be in their original containers? I have seen a page or two that say they must be in a container and the name on the container must match the name of the flyer.

Instead of hauling a month's supply along, we would much prefer taking a four day supply in the day-by-day containers. What are the rules these days?

(All pills, no liquids and no narcotic or exotic stuff.)

Thanks
