The rules for Intuniv (guanfacine)

Atomoxetine, guanfacine and viloxazine are not internationally controlled. Sri Lanka lets a traveller carry medicine for personal use without approval, up to the quantity needed for the stay or for 90 days, whichever is less (Medicines Regulations, regulation 64, page 14A). More than 90 days' supply needs prior approval from the National Medicines Regulatory Authority (NMRA). The medicine must be in its original container, or in a container labelled with its name, strength and directions for use. NMRA says to have your prescription or medical records ready to show if asked.

Maximum supply: 90 days

Permit: Not required up to 90 days' supply. Above that, it is.

What to do

Prescription (optional). Your prescription or medical records, to show if asked. This is the advice of the National Medicines Regulatory Authority (NMRA) to travellers. The Medicines Regulations do not make it a condition.
