TL;DR
No official per-person limit was confirmed by travelers, but in practice checked luggage with medication passes without issue — one traveler flew out on July 18 with a pack of pharmacy items and wasn't questioned.
Another traveler reported that some of their bags were opened and inspected at customs, but no questions were raised about medication — the pills were distributed in small amounts across several different bags.
On a July 18 departure, medication was packed in checked luggage (not carry-on) and passed baggage screening without any questions from customs.
As a precaution, consider consolidating packaging — e.g., combining the contents of three separate boxes into two — to make checked luggage look less conspicuous during screening.
No confirmed official limit on the quantity of medication per person was cited by travelers — the exact allowance remains unclear based on chat discussion.
