Leaving Malaysia with xanax / alprazolam

RESTRICTEDAlprazolam is a controlled benzodiazepine subject to personal-export limits when leaving Malaysia.

Alprazolam is Schedule IV in most jurisdictions. Personal-use quantities with prescription and doctor's letter are generally permitted for export under Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. Above these limits, a Pharmaceutical Services Programme (MoH Malaysia) authorisation is required.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Carry documentation. Declare proactively at customs. If unsure, declare on arrival — declared goods at worst attract duty or surrender, while undeclared goods found in screening are seized and fined.
