We all know to hand carry our meds but what else should be know about traveling with meds or packing them? Thank you!
What's the best way to pack medications both OTC and prescription?

Rx in original bottles. In many foreign countries you don't want to tangle with there drug laws (narcotics, controlled meds such as adderall, even sudafed) as some have death penalties.
OTC for the most part keep in original packaging unless space hogs then I will put in smaller bottles with drug info taped on.
As a healthcare provider I'm very careful when transporting meds as some are for emergency purposes and don't want them messed up or tampered with. I carry even on a daily basis a number of OTC meds some of which are restricted in other countries (sudafed in some SE Asian countries is highly controlled or banned). Then I keep injectable meds for allergic reactions as well.
