It's the same where I live. If it's not OTC then you better have it in it's original bottle with legible label, if not, then they arrest you and carry you to jail and give you the line " explain it to the judge".
I've carried spare batteries and loose change in those little plastic bags when I go hiking/camping and have for years. Never had any luck carrying meds because they get squashed or rub together and make a chalky mess in the bag. Eventually the bottom of the bag will split open and the contents released. Even the hard cases and capsules will allow meds to loosely bump around, so make sure you pack a little cotton in whatever you use.
