The rules for Dexamphetamine (dexamfetamine, sold as Dexedrine)
Amphetamine and dexamfetamine, with their salts, are controlled group II psychotropics in Mexico (Ley General de Salud art 245 II), not prohibited substances (art 237). Visitors show customs the prescription, or a permit from their home country's competent authority (Reglamento de Insumos para la Salud art 55, page 20; SAT Aduanas passenger page). The COFEPRIS import permit is the importer's route and is optional for a traveller's own carried supply.
What to do
- valid medical prescription
- original prescription presented at customs (or a permit from your home country's competent authority)
- if you obtained a COFEPRIS authorisation (optional for your own carried supply): the original, presented together with the prescription
- 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.
