Irrespective of where you're flying from and the possibility of being stolen at the source airport you are transporting a controlled substance. There are strict guidelinces in US, UK, Australia, and Europe with regards to possession and transportation of this substance.
To my knowledge it's an opioid used as a withdrawal aid for Heroin addiction, so with that in mind drug sniffing dogs are very likely to find them, so unless you have bulletproof licensing to possess or transport this drug you should not try transporting it across borders prescription may not be enough.

You don't say where you're flying from, but any time you put medication into your checked baggage you run the risk of it not being there when you reach your destination. This seems like a medication you might need to take regularly, and a medication that might get stolen, so I would caution against putting it into your checked baggage.
When I travel, I usually take a small first aid kit with me. It's an opaque cosmetics bag. Could you get something similar? Add some band-aids, some ibuprofen, and some Kleenex. Obviously no metal, like nail clippers, or anything else that would prompt additional screening.
Is there any way for you to select a separate screening line at the airport? If not, and you get pulled aside for extra screening, tell the rest of your party to head to the gate and you will meet them there.
Good luck to you. It's hard to maintain privacy while flying.
