There is no harm in carrying routine medicine. Just add the type of medicine you are carrying in goods carrying list. Doctors' prescription is a added security if you can get.

The definition of OTC medicines differs from country to country. Check on these links if you can find what constitutes OTC in Canada:

Best is to take prescriptions for all drugs being carried on self.
