Some medicine cannot be brought into USA at all; some would require jumping through hoops, and some is ok to bring as-is assuming it is for personal use. | |

It is advised that you travel with no more than personal use quantities, a rule of thumb is no more than a 90 day supply. 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." | |
