I know must of this stuff is old school and I doubt CBP seizes a few packets of prescription drugs these days, but large quantities of consumer products with the intent to resell is subject to seizure, unless these products have been declared. My FIL used to purchase meds and hide them. It was always a gamble to purchase cheap meds because they could be seized up return.
