Adderall (Medication) → United Kingdom

Amphetamine not licensed in the UK

Details

Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts) is not a licensed medication in the UK. Amphetamines are Class B controlled substances under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. Import requires a Home Office license, which is extremely difficult to obtain for personal use. UK doctors prescribe lisdexamfetamine (Elvanse/Vyvanse) instead. Enforcement in United Kingdom carries imprisonment up to 7 years in aggravated cases under Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 s.170; Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. Leaving United Kingdom with adderall (medication) is a separate question — restricted: Adderall (dextroamphetamine/amphetamine mixed salts) is a controlled stimulant in United Kingdom and is subject to personal-export limits for prescribed users.
