"Passengers are allowed to bring medications in pill or other solid form through security screening checkpoints in unlimited amounts, as long as they are screened. TSA does not require passengers to have medications in prescription bottles, but states have individual laws regarding the labeling of prescription medication with which passengers need to comply.

"If your medications or devices are not in their original containers, you must have a copy of your prescription with you or a letter from your doctor. A valid prescription or doctors note is required on all medication entering the U.S.
"
As always, YMMV. I have not been questioned by international customs at all over the past 3 years (two trips into and out of Europe, two trips into and out of Canada.) Of course, not worth the hassle of worrying about it, so best to err on the side of caution.
