Last checked 1 Jan 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 Mexico 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 Mexico.

The rules for Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts)

Adderall (amphetamine) is not registered for sale in Mexico and, per Article 245 Grupo I of the Ley General de Salud, cannot be legally imported even with a valid foreign prescription.

What to do

  1. valid medical prescription
  2. original prescription presented at customs (X)
  3. for medicines needing authorization: the original COFEPRIS authorization presented together with the prescription
  4. medication in original packaging

Confirm this yourself: This is based on official guidance we could not confirm against a current national source. Check with Federal Commission for Protection against Health Risks (COFEPRIS) or Mexico's embassy before you travel.
