Can I take Dexamphetamine to Spain?

Spain's official guidance indicates you need advance approval (a permit) before arriving with Dexamphetamine (dexamfetamine, sold as Dexedrine). Review the requirements and apply in good time.

The rules for Dexamphetamine (dexamfetamine, sold as Dexedrine)

No mixed amphetamine salts product (Adderall and equivalents) holds a Spanish marketing authorisation; the AEMPS CIMA register returns no result for that composition. AEMPS's permit page covers any controlled narcotic or psychotropic medicine and does not ask that the product be authorised in Spain, so bring your own supply and apply for the permit as normal. Plan on not being able to refill or replace it locally: AEMPS caps the inbound permit at three months and says that after that the medicine must be obtained through Spanish legal channels, which for an unauthorised product means the foreign-medicine (medicamentos extranjeros) route via your autonomous community's contact point.

Maximum supply: 90 days (AEMPS approves up to three months of treatment for entry, exceptionally more; the 30-day figure is the exit certificate. )

What to do

  1. valid prescription
  2. doctor's certificate endorsed by the health authorities of the country of residence
  3. 'Permiso de Viajeros' / health certificate for transport of controlled substances (obtained via the Spanish Embassy/Consulate in the country of origin, processed by AEMPS)

Confirm this yourself: This is based on official guidance we could not confirm against a current national source. Check with Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS) or Spain's embassy before you travel.
