I'm pretty sure you can only bring medications in your name.

I carry medication and fly all of the time.

Sometimes they ask me about it when I go through security and sometimes they don't. When they do, they sometimes also look to see that it's in my name.

I agree you might have problems if you're carrying medication that's not in your name. It all depends whether they check or not.
