    Is it legal to send prescription meds through the USPS?

    My uncle just left to go back to Florida and left his Medication for Blood Pressure and Cholesterol here at my house. Does the USPS allow for these meds to be sent through the mail? Any help is appreciated.

    I am pretty sure as long as his name is on the prescription bottles, and nothing but the prescribed meds are in said bottles there should be no problem, but check with the USPS first before I get you arrested for Drug trafficking lol

    no sooner said... scratch that... right off of the USPS site

    Prescription Drugs – Prescription medications can only be mailed by Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) registered entities. Similar regulations may apply to over-the-counter medications.

      If you stuff the bottles with extra cotton so they're quiet and send them to him padded I don't see the problem. The people at the USPS have enough problems that I doubt they take the time to x-ray what you send your relative.
