We will be heading for the Caribbean this fall and need some information from experienced cruisers about carrying prescription medications. We are nurses and have an assortment of prescription only medications given to us by Md's we have worked with over the last year. These are mostly oral and injectable steroids, anti-inflammatories, anti-biotics, anti histamines, etc. The only "narcotic" we have is Tylenol #2 which we purchased over the counter in Bermuda.

We do not have written prescriptions for any of these and are concerned about running into trouble with the customs departments of the various islands. We wouldn't mind having them confiscated, but the thought of running into legal trouble is scary.

Any input would be appreciated.
