Many medicines banned by some countries are perfectly legal elsewhere (you can't take codeine into the UAE, for example). Given that it's ultimately down to the bearer to prove that the drugs he/she is carrying are legal, it's prudent to retain the original packaging and also the prescription for anything that might be in doubt.
