Full details
Adderall in the Philippines is a regulated drug under the Dangerous Drugs Act (RA 9165). Travelers must obtain pre-arrival authorisation from PDEA and FDA Philippines, supported by the prescription and doctor's letter. Without authorisation, Bureau of Customs and PDEA at MNL / CEB / DVO seize the medication; carriage is treated as drug importation under section 4. Enforcement in Philippines carries fines from PHP 5,000 to PHP 500,000 under Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (CMTA) 2016 s.1400 (ordinary personal cases are handled as civil infringements). Leaving Philippines with adderall (medication) is a separate question — restricted: Adderall (dextroamphetamine/amphetamine mixed salts) is a controlled stimulant in Philippines and is subject to personal-export limits for prescribed users.

Leaving Philippines with adderall (medication)
Adderall is a Schedule II controlled substance in the US and equivalent schedules in most other jurisdictions. Personal-use quantities (typically a 30-90 day supply) accompanied by the prescription and doctor's letter are generally permitted for export under Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act 2002 (RA 9165). Above these limits, a PDEA / FDA Philippines authorisation is required in advance. Destination-country rules on Adderall import are more restrictive in many jurisdictions (Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, UAE, Saudi Arabia).
