here so can't see why panadol and antibiotics will cause any alarm (all readily available here). You can get anything you like over the counter, including morphine (you need to be able to as when you go to the local hospitals they will send a family member off to buy all your medications).
The letter is a great idea for large quantities, my mother had to bring a large amount of one drug over and had a letter written by her doctor but was never even questioned. Just make sure everything is in its original packaging.
Bali Belly antibiotics are about 9000rp for a course over the counter so next time you may want to save money and buy them here.
