The rules for Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)
Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) falls under the same controlled-substance rules Canada states for all prescription medications containing controlled substances: prescription required, original labelled packaging, mandatory declaration to CBSA, and a maximum of the lesser of a single course of treatment or a 30-day supply. Canada's official guidance does not treat it differently from other stimulants.
What to do
- valid prescription
- medication kept in original packaging with the label intact
- declaration to Canada Border Services Agency on entry
