Prescription drugs and carry
Sorry if this has been addressed. I am older and have some Medical problems, And need to carry Three Prescribed Medications with me at all time. Now these are not. Strong pain meds. This is what they call a Maintenance Drugs. My question is this. I also have a LTCF. I have been carrying a copy of the prescription in my wallet. But I was told that carrying the pills in an unmarked pill container. Is a violation of the Law. And they must be in a plainly marked bottle from the Pharmacy . Any thoughts on this.

I take Alprazolam and I have heard of no such thing. I usually keep it in the bottle if I take it along on a trip or something.
I'm sure you can get a copy of the prescription from your pharmacy and carry it around with you.

Re: Prescription drugs and carry
Are these drugs you have to take several times a day for maintenance or do you only have to take them one or two times a day? Why can't you take them in the morning and at night and then leave the pills at home?

Re: Prescription drugs and carry
Some prescription drugs are "take as needed". Today you may not need any at all, tomorrow you may, and you're never sure just when. I too carry some prescription medication with me daily, and even on an extended trip, use a pill organizer (with a mix of vitamins, supplements and Rx drugs). All of the marked bottles stay at home, though I'll admit I have no idea what the legal requirements really are.

Re: Prescription drugs and carry
When I worked in NJ I used to read the local paper and the police blotter would list all the charges for the local arrests. Everyone found w/ prescription medication not in the original container w/ the label from the pharmacy was charged for this...
When NJ gets a DWI and piles on any other charges they can, like DWI in a school zone, no licenseplate light, etc. and then they use them as barganing chips during the plea bargan to make sure they can still get the max on the DWI...
I don't know about PA's laws on this...
