I have skimmed the entire CSA (controlled substance act) under which prescriptions fall and could not find a definitive answer.
HOWEVER because having a prescription that is not your own is against the law, and placing your prescription in a different container that doesn't provide information verifying that It is medicine being prescribed to you I highly discourage using any container other than the original.
