If these are script only in the US, you technically can't have them without them.
Every line at customs eventually has a bad day. Can't say 100% you won't end up giving them up, but they won't arrest you.
You should still be able to bring back many control drugs from MEX into the USA Without any Rx from either side however must declare for personal use and limit to not more than 50 dosage units per visits across all that you bring back. Cannot bring back 50 zolipdems + 50 alprazolams etc. AND they must be for personal use. I'll have to re-fresh the link from US DEA diversion control system web-page. Hydro however is one of the ones that I believe cannot be brought. AND can only do this via a land crossing. CANNOT do via air travel.

Peace.
I find if you initiate the topic first before they do things go better. This is from my experience.
" I have medications that I would like to declare " Boring medications (30 day supply) for blood pressure or stomach issues etc. Pffft. Anxiety and pain meds are an issue. IMO dick meds could very well be a red flag depending on the agent. If you have an empty pill bottle put them in there.

P.S. Maybe Shefield should spend the $49.99 for a live MD in the USA and do a Zoom medical treatment video consultation and get the scripts he needs? Hint hint... that's a work around for antibiotics when you really really need the ZPack and can't get to TJ.

In my strong experienced opinion there will be NO PROBLEM with hydrixycholorquine. As it is not a scheduladed controlled substance. Less than 90 day supply in sealed original container.
I have brought back antibiotics and blood preasure meds. No script. In bag and declared: "Personal medication for my own use. Would you like to see? They will glance and as long as it is NOT A CONTROLED SUBSTANCE and you are NOT Selling them. They will take your word.
The ivermectin I am not sure about. Your WORST case scenario is they question you and US Customs confiscates it and has you fill out a form to get it back.
Note. They are looking for Cash $$ above $10 K, and pain killers and other controlled scripts. You will NOT get in trouble especially if you DECLARE your required medications.
Peace.

So when you say it's for your own personal use, you mean you brought it from the US into mexico to use and now you are bringing it back? Or you mean you bought it in mexico? Or you intentionally leave it vague and let them make their own conclusions?
Listen to these words closely.
If you don't haver a US doctors script, you cannot have it in the US.
A 3 yr old can understand that.
No script, the conclusion is black and white, you shouldn't have it...what you can get away with..is another story.
Depends on the officers mood that day and how you look in the infrared camera...if you're all nervous as hell, it can go a little sideways.

I can only think that US Customs would assume you are just another Joe Rogan or even a Conservative prepper type.
Now, if I was an extremally suspicious customs agent - maybe I would think your "China Flu meds" are actually something prohibited. So then they will test it. That's why you need to have your purchased meds sealed, and a receipt even?. Don't worry about getting busted for those items. It is for health right? Not to get high and not to re-sell in USA. Look at all of the pharmacies in Tijuana. It is a big business. Most TJ Pharmacies have the big Physicians Desk Reference book and know their shit.
Tell US Customs the truth.
Again. I am going to repeat. It must be for your own 90 day or less supply and NOT on the controlled substance list. You can't bring back Vicodin. You can not bring back steroids.
Ok sir, thank you for the information.

Great I've been poring them out of their bottles into generic bottles. And just to be clear, customs does not ask for a prescription?

I cross several times a week since I live in Mexico, mostly, when going to work in Arizona. I stay several days. Whenever they ask about anything to declare, my answer is, " My meds, personal items, and some meals. " Not once have I've been asked what meds or to show them.

Nope, they don't ask questions. Just give the driver a tip as you exit the limo and you'll be fine.
