You can carry your pills, as long as they are not a banned substance in the destination. If there is a prescription involved, make sure you have the bottle with the prescriber's info. As long as you have medication for personal use to use on the duration of the trip, it is almost never a problem. If any of the meds are in a liquid for, then put them in a quart size ziploc bag for security to examine.

Yes ! you are allowed to carry Non-prescription liquid or gel medicines like cough syrup and gel cap type pills . For more info you can check: http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm

here you'll get the complete idea of items that are allowed or not allowed on planes. Good Luck.

You can bring them without a problem at all. As a matter of fact I would ONLY bring them with you in your carry-on. I fly constantly and I always bring medications with me on board.

Yes but they have to be in the original prescription bottles or packages.........not sorted out into those day to day reminder boxes. If you're taking any liquid/syrup prescription meds, you will need a letter from your doctor saying what it is and what you are taking it for.
Medication should never go in with your luggage. Luggage sometimes gets lost and you could end up with no meds when you reach your destination.

Yes. Pills are definitely not a problem as long as they are not banned in any of the countries you'll be visiting - and if they are prescription medications you should keep them in the box/bottle with the prescription label on them.

As for liquids, it is my understanding that they are fine but to be sure you should - as has already been recommended - check the TSA website (or equivalent in your country). Also, most airlines have some information and links to the proper government agency website on their websites.

Depends where you are flying too and from.

I flew from australia to Thailand not long ago and yes I could take mine on but you also need to be careful about the laws in that country also as you might only be allowed to take prescription medication.

hope that helps.
