Can I bring a prescribed Schedule V drug into US?
I live in the U.S. under a F-1 visa, and I have a bad sciatica. When I returned home (Japan), I saw a doctor, who prescribed pregabalin, which is classified in the U.S. under Schedule V. I will return back to the U.S. in three days, when I will have two weeks' worth of the drug. How can I bring the medicine back there? Can I do so at all?
