Can I take Adderall to Brazil?
Official guidance indicates Brazil restricts how much Adderall you can bring and the paperwork required. Check the limits before you travel.
Last checked 18 Jul 2026Medium confidenceHow we rate a record
A limit of our data: Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts) and Dexamphetamine are different medicines. Adderall is a mix of dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine; dexamfetamine is dextroamphetamine on its own, and international drug schedules list them as separate substances. We hold one combined amphetamine rule per country, so this page cannot tell you whether Brazil treats them differently. Give the authority the exact product and generic name on your prescription when you check. The answer here is the same as for Dexamphetamine in Brazil.
The rules for Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts)
Amphetamine and dextroamphetamine are on ANVISA Lista A3 (controlled psychotropics), not on the prohibited E/F lists. Per Brazil's INCB submission, travellers need a valid medical prescription and may carry at most a 30-day supply of treatment (maximum 5 ampoules for injectables) for List A3/B2 psychotropics; for larger amounts contact ANVISA (GPCON). Carry the medication with its prescription; the 60-day allowance applies only to List B1 substances, not these.
Maximum supply: 30 days (ANVISA List A3/B2 cap: maximum 30-day supply of treatment (max 5 ampoules for injectables); the 60-day allowance is for List B1 only, not applicable here)
