as long as for personal consumption and less than 30 days supply no issues. just keep the medication in its original box or blister pack and bring along a copy of your prescription.

I often bring along prescription sleeping pills like lorazepam, diazepam and alprazolam (Xanax) with me when I travel to bkk (controlled drugs in both sg and bkk. can get jail time in Thailand if in possession without prescription). but just to be on the safe side I will approach the staff at the red channel to inform one of them first that I have prescription benzodiazepines with me. they usually will just ask if it's for my own use and less than 30 days worth of supply. if you reply yes they will just tell you no need do anything can just go thru green channel.

you can refer to this article for further reference.. as long as your medication doesn't fall under their list of CAT 1 Narcotic and Psychotropic substances you should be fine.

mine are all listed under Cat 4 of their Psychotropic substances list so I tend to stay on the safe side by carrying complete paperwork issued by the hospital whenever I travel.
