Taking adderall (medication) out of United Kingdom
Adderall (dextroamphetamine/amphetamine mixed salts) is a controlled stimulant in United Kingdom and is subject to personal-export limits for prescribed users.
Details
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 Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001; Home Office personal-import/export licence for schedule 1-3. Above these limits, an Home Office personal-export licence is required in advance. Travellers should note that some destination countries (Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, UAE, Saudi Arabia among others) restrict Adderall import even when export is permitted from the origin — always verify the destination-side rules independently.
