Wonder what customs would say if your bring drugs into this country without relevant paperwork, as I'm pretty sure people wouldn't do it into the USA

I think you'll find that under UK customs laws, the only medicines they expect you to have proof of prescription for are controlled drugs. The legalities of bringing over the counter medicines into the UK state that provided they are for personal use and there is no intent to supply then that is perfectly legal.

Generic canestan cream (clotrimazole). Approx 60p as opposed to £3 odd over here.
Don't find the paracetomol and brufen as good, it is not that much more expensive in Asda.
Garlic tablets $6 for400 extra strength capsules, £20 over here!
Triple antibiotic cream, wonderful stuff.

Huge tubs of paracetamol and ibuprofen
Antihistamines
Hydrocortisone cream
Naproxen Sodium
Oral pain gel - so much stonger than the stuff here
Walgreens/CVS own brand cold and flu tablets - the nighttime ones are brilliant.

I know the Tums are cheaper, but the own brand bottles of anti acid tablets from Publix are dirt cheap and yummy.
