Can I take Adderall to Canada?
Official guidance indicates Canada restricts how much Adderall you can bring and the paperwork required. Check the limits before you travel.

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 Canada 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 Canada.
The rules for Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts)
Adderall/Dexedrine are controlled substances: you must have a prescription, keep the medication in its original packaging with the label intact, and always declare it to a Canada Border Services Agency officer on entry. The quantity must not exceed the lesser of a single course of treatment or a 30-day supply (the 90-day allowance applies only to benzodiazepines and other targeted substances, not stimulants).
What to do
- valid prescription
- medication kept in original packaging with the label intact
- declaration to Canada Border Services Agency on entry
