The rules for Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)
Lisdexamfetamine is not named anywhere in the Egyptian schedules we could obtain. Whether it is caught by the catch-all wording covering salts, isomers, esters and ethers is genuinely unclear, because it is a prodrug rather than any of those. Do not assume it is allowed and do not assume it is banned. Ask the Egyptian embassy in writing before you book.
What to do
- valid prescription
- doctor's letter/certificate
- prior permission/'no objection' clearance from Egypt's Ministry of Health
- medication in original packaging
Confirm this yourself: This is based on official guidance we could not confirm against a current national source. Check with Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population / Egyptian Drug Authority (EDA) or Egypt's embassy before you travel.
