Unless it is prescription medicine you do not have to delare, I alway take small kit with me, just be carefull with anti diarrhoea meds as if you get Bali Belly (Hope not) you should let it run its course as it is a bug and taking anti diarrhoea meds do not allow it to pass through, if you are to bad then getting a doctor is the only thing to do. I lost one of our party in Bali last year to Bali belly so be careful. If you use common sense and wash hands and do not drink any water except bottle water you should be ok. Most people get a touch of the trots when they go to bali, change of food, if that is all it is anti meds are ok. but you will know if it is bali belly. Take mossie repelant as they are bad especially with the rains that have been going on. Apart from all that, enjoy the Island of Smiles, 7 more sleeps and I am there again.
