    Walgreens and I am sure others sell small pill bags. I put my medicine in these with their name and dosage. a couple prescriptions and over the counter. a couple over counter just incase like Imodium and benedryl I just keep in their blister pack. These all go in to my fist add quart bag ziplock.

    You can also get the small ziplocks in the crafts section at Walmart. Tiny and perfect for meds.

    Take as many pills as you need for the number of days you will be out. Add one or two just in case it takes you longer. If drops instead of pills ask the Dr for samples.

    What's the ultralight tactic for prescription medicine?

    The cool thing about ULA backpacks is they come with a small zippered pouch you can use as a wallet when in town. Personally, I only carry my license, credit card and some cash. I could probably even lighten that up by photocopying my insurance card.

    I can't get used to not having a wallet in my back pocket. If I feel it's not there I have a brief panic attack even if I know it's stashed in my pack. SI I just got a cheap minimal nylon wallet from Wal Mart and carry only the essentials (some cash, credit card, atm card, drivers license, health insurance cards, HSA debit card, etc

    Here’s to ziplock wallets. Pills fit well in the super small ziplocks that comes with sweaters (with buttons or thread) or small electronics.

    For RX, OTC, and supplements: I take seven pills a day, 1 RX, 1 OTC, the rest supplements (multivitamin, low dose aspirin, Tumeric, etc.). I wrap each days' pills in a square of Glad Cling Wrap, tie it off and store all in a pint ziploc freezer bag. The weight and bulk of these can add up so on long trails (over 500 miles), some of these wind up in a bounce box along with extra maps, etc. Never had a lawman hassle me about my meds, but I have taken photos of the RX bottles to prove I have been prescribed.

    +1 Switched to this and I use it off trail daily as well. However, I also sometimes use a Z Packs Pouch because it holds change quieter than just jingling in the pockets.

    I've been using a (DIY) Tyvek "Mighty Wallet" by Dynomighty; love it, especially since kiddos drew on and colored it.

Usually after they talk to the prescribing doctor they let you go, along with your medication. Personally I avoid contact with any officer of the law.
    +1 for the above, except I don't need any prescription meds yet, but my wife does.
    I even carry Ibuprofen in an original container

    ++ ziploc snack size for wallet.

    For emergency ID I had a dog tag made with my info, ordered off Amazon for a few bucks, that's larksheaded to one shoulder strap.

    For meds I count out what I need, they go in a little zip pouch sized for crafts and jewelry.
