Medicine from Home Country

Dear All,
I and my family are going to go to Qatar on the next few months. My family have usual medicine that we got from our Doctor's prescription from our home country
(eg. Asthma, sore throat, inflammation medicine etc). Is there any regulation or is it breaking the law in Qatar Immigration if we will bring our medicine from our home country to Qatar?
Is there any list of medicine that prohibited in Qatar?
We also want to bring our OTC(Over The Counter) medicine (Medicine that can be bought in Pharmacies without doctor prescription) from our home country. Is it legal or not?
Thank in advance
Regards,
Abu Muhammad

I'm not sure if it's legal or illegal but I brought medicine when our family relocated, prescription and OTC. We brought items like Advil, Tylenol, and medicine for our baby son (Infant Tylenol, Mylicon, etc). For prescription, I brought prescription allergy medication (Zyertec).
