US customs seizes 1500 unscheduled tabs from American arriving from Amsterdam.

"Customs and Border Protection officers at the Port of Detroit Metropolitan Airport seized approximately 1,500 pills of prescribed medications including Glyciphage, Glybovin, Zenflox, Diovan, Osteofos, Piopar, and Restyl being brought into the United States by a U.S. citizen returning from India. All medications require a prescription from a doctor. After contacting the Food and Drug Administration all medications were seized.

The passenger, from Spring Valley, Illinois, arrived on a flight from Amsterdam after a 10-day trip to India. He was referred to secondary for further examination. During the exam of his luggage officers found prescription medications that the individual failed to declare he was bringing into the U.S.

The passenger stated that he had purchased the medication in India for his wife. He stated neither he nor his wife had a prescription for the medication. The individual also had several counterfeit DVDs, computer software and computer games that he failed to declare that were discovered during the exam of his luggage. After all the items were seized, the passenger was allowed to continue his travel."
