The rules for Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)
Not named in India's schedules either way, and the official consolidated list is a scanned image that cannot be searched. Apply to the Narcotics Commissioner for permission regardless: the instruction covers any psychotropic substance.
What to do
- valid prescription (with INN/generic names)
- specialist/doctor's letter on headed paper (diagnosis, medication by INN and brand, dose, medical necessity)
- prior permission from India's Narcotics Commissioner if supply exceeds ~30 days / 100 dosage units
- medication in original packaging
Confirm this yourself: This is based on official guidance we could not confirm against a current national source. Check with Narcotics Commissioner, Central Bureau of Narcotics, Department of Revenue or India's embassy before you travel.
