Are unbottled pills (prescription and supplements) allowed?

Hi all,

While packing for my trip to Cuenca in January, in order to save space, can I pack my pills in small plastic bags, which I would label of course. Or do I need to bring them in their original packaging?

Thanks for your help!

just because you were lucky doesn't mean everyone should do this. Unidentifiable tablets could cause them to be binned or sent for analysis at your cost 0 0
