yunkyu kakuninsho: question on filling out the prescription doctor’s letter

moving to japan and need to have my yunyu filled out. I'm a little confused about page 3 of this document here

"Copy of Prescription or Direction for medicines with a name of the Dr. who prescribed your medicines, by which the Pharmaceutical Inspector can confirm the name and the quantity of each medicine only for your own use clearly"

all my medicine comes with my name and my doctor's name attached on the bottle, is taking a picture of that enough for whatever medicine I want to bring in?

And do I need that document, the one with my doctor's name on it, to say how much TOTAL i'm bringin in, or the amount per bottle? I'm bringing in more medicine than what a single pill bottle will say (got a couple extra months in advance) and I'm wondering if my doctor needs to specifically write down that I'm bringing more than a monthly dose OR if it's okay to just have some kind of document that has my name, my doctor's name, and the name of the medicine without my doctor needing to specify that I'm bringing exactly this much medication.

Thanks
