Travelling abroad with meds

[Guest guest]

I'm flying to America in 5weeks and wanted to know what happens about meds? I'm

taking lots of supps which I assume would be fine, but what about my HC, T3 and

Metformin? I asked my travel agent about it and she said I would need my

prescription or a letter from my doc stating that I medically need these drugs.

Problem is I self treat, anyone had any experience of this? I am a patient of

Dr P's do you think a letter from him would be ok? The flight is 8/9hrs so I

can't go without them. Apparently the ones in the suitcase (15days supply) will

be ok, it's just the hand luggage that's an issue, does that sound right?
