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 United Kingdom 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 United Kingdom.

The rules for Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts)

Amphetamine = Class B / Schedule 2 (not Schedule 1). Up to 3 months' supply may be brought in with a prescription plus a clinician's letter of proof (patient name, travel dates, medicines/amounts/doses/strength, prescriber signature); carry in hand luggage. Beyond 3 months, a personal import licence is only granted in exceptional circumstances.

Maximum supply: 90 days (Up to 3 months' supply with prescription + clinician's letter of proof; import licence needed beyond 3 months (exceptional circumstances))

What to do

  1. valid prescription (copy)
  2. letter from clinician (patient name, travel dates, list of medicines with quantities/doses/strength, prescriber's signature)
