its very much about looks. Uk airports (used to?) seize aftershave in bottles that are the shape of grenades. Its very obvious what they are (made of glass, branded, spray out aftershave) but they are banned nonetheless.
The real question here is whether you can buy the exact same bottle again in the duty-free after security.
I've flown with someone who simply said she has prescription medication with her.
I mean it was the truth. It was legitimately prescription medication. In this case. But I can imagine someone could lie.
I can't speak to UK airports but TSA policy is that any medication needs to be in the original container, including prescription medication. So if you have any unmarked pills they'll toss them if they find them, same with multiple different pills in a prescription pill bottle or similar.
