They should allow some presicription medications as long as your name is on it.

The ban on pickles was always there. Just that you can get away with it most of the time.
As far as medicines are concerned, the restriction applies to carrying them in the handbag. But as PP pointed out as long as they are prescription drugs with your name, you're good. To be safe just carry them in the checked-in baggage

A slight correction - there is no ban on carrying prescription medicines in your handbag - there is restriction on the quantity. You should be carrying only that quantity in your hand bag which is needed for the journey - usually one day's supply or a bit more.
Any medicine, which is non-prescription, or a prescription medicine without an accompanying prescription can be confiscated by the airport authorities. Recently (3 days back) my cousin landed in Canada and customs here in canada (surprisingly) took all her OTC medicines like Crocin, Pudin Hara etc. However, they have given her an acknowledgement of having taken those medicines and it can be collected from the customs within 40 days on PRODUCTION OF A VALID PRESCRIPTION.

There is no restriction for bringling medcines along with you. Infact people are encouraged to bring medicines as there is a waiting period for free medical cover for 3 months. You may have to declare this at the customs counter and if the bottles are factory sealed with contents are indicated outside will help.

Did they take the OTC medicines from her checked-in baggage or hand baggage?
