Per my health insurance, I get 3 month supplies of my medications from a
mail-order pharmacy. Often they use large bottles for small pills. (I think
they only buy the biggest size bottle.) Don't think they'd be willing to
repackage them -- just supposing I could get hold of the actual packager.
I straddle the fence on this one. Essential meds I keep in the original
container, others I break out.
But I've never had anybody question my meds at all, not in years of travel
to Canada and Europe.
