The rules for Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)
No Italy-specific distinction for lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse/Elvanse) was found; it is covered by the same generic psychotropic-substances rule (home-country certificate or Italian Annex 1 certificate, or plain prescription if only one package is carried).
Maximum supply: 30 days (30-day cap for narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances (generic rule, no drug-specific carve-out found))
What to do
- valid medical prescription
- Schengen certificate (Annex I of the Decree of 16 November 2007) for travel between Schengen states. This is issued by your own country of residence and only covers travel between Schengen countries, so if you are flying in from Australia you cannot get one and do not need it.
- prescription showing patient name, trade name, INN of active substance and duration (max 30 days)
