Can I take Adderall to Portugal?

Official guidance indicates Portugal restricts how much Adderall you can bring and the paperwork required. Check the limits before you travel.

Restricted: limits on quantity and paperwork

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 Portugal 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 Portugal.

The rules for Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts)

Carry the original valid medical prescription; INFARMED's current INCB submission does not name individual drugs but sets a blanket 30-day supply limit for psychotropic substances under Article 13 of Decree-Law No. 15/93 of 22 January, so amphetamine/dexamfetamine falls under this generic 30-day/prescription rule. No certificate or destination-country permit is required per this source, only the prescription itself.

Maximum supply: 30 days (Blanket 30-day supply cap for psychotropic substances (Article 13, Decree-Law 15/93))

What to do

  1. valid prescription
  2. Schengen certificate (for Schengen travel). This is issued by your own country of residence and only covers travel between Schengen countries, so if you are flying in from Australia you cannot get one and do not need it.
