pre 911 most folks would tell you to just put your meds in those daily dose containers and not to worry about it. But since then it is best to keep all medications in their original labeled containers, even over the counter medications like Tylenol. This is especially true if you are taking any kind of narcotic pain killer like Oxy-Contin, Vicadin etc, etc, the ones that get stolen and sold on the streets . Why risk it?
