The rules for Ritalin (methylphenidate)
No Nepal government page addresses traveller import of methylphenidate specifically, or of psychotropic substances generally, for personal use. The release form does not change this: the gap is the absence of any published traveller pathway, not the drug form.
What to do
- valid prescription
- doctor's letter/certificate (English)
- medication in original packaging
Confirm this yourself: We could not find strong recent official guidance for Nepal. Contact Department of Drug Administration (DDA), Ministry of Health and Population or Nepal's embassy directly before you travel.
