Is it legal for a family member to send a prescription drug through mail?

It would not be my prescription but I was wondering if there are laws against sending it in a package in the mail?

No.

Sending a prescription is otherwise prohibited for citizens. If you are caught mailing prescription drugs through the mail, it will be an illegal act and will be prosecuted. Just as sharing a prescription with someone is prohibited, so is mailing it to someone else--especially if they do not have a prescription for it. Sending a drug back to the manufacturer because of recalls, voluntary manufacturer withdrawals and dispensing errors (such as incorrect drug, dosage or strength) is permitted by 21 CFR 1307.12 or other applicable law. The mail must be addressed to the manufacturer's registered agent or to the manufacturer directly.

No, only authorized dispensers/prescribers can send medicine through the mail.
