Can you bring basic over the counter meds?
Just wondering if you can bring everyday medications such as paracetamol, immodium, etc to Florida?

Yes absolutely. I take paracetamol, ibuprofen and buscopan with me on every trip.

Yep. Pretty much anything "over the counter" here you can take into the USA. In fact you can buy a lot more potent stuff "over the counter" there due to the differing healthcare system, i.e. a hefty charge to see a GP.
Certainly run-of-the-mill medications such as ibuprofen / immodium won't even blink an eyelid. If you do get asked what you've got, Ibuprofen is often known as Advil in the USA. Immodium is, Immodium. |

You should avoid Paracetamol with Codeine and Sudafed as those two have more restrictions in the states than here. Chances of you being stopped are virtually negligible but I always like to be on the safe side!

Yes you can and we take a small supply of paracetamol, ibuprofen and Calpol sachets. But we stock up on ibuprofen from Walmart - can buy a bottle of 500, for about $12 for 2 bottles (1,000 tablets) so we buy a couple of bottles each trip to bring home.
