Default Prostate RX question

Been fighting with Bladder/Prostate pain for the last few months. Urologist has me on Flomax, nutritional suppliments and Vicodin for flare ups. I have a set schedule and dont take the Vicodin at least 36 hours before flying.

So when I go for my medical, I just report this and the meds im on right? If I do get a random drug test am I legal?
