The rules for Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)
You can carry up to one month's supply in your personal luggage for your own use if it was supplied on a doctor's prescription. No Malaysian import authorisation is needed for that amount, arriving or leaving (Poisons (Psychotropic Substances) Regulations 1989, regulation 4(2)(a), page 5). Malaysia's Ministry of Health asks travellers to bring the prescription or a doctor's letter in English, naming the medicine, the dose and the quantity carried.
Maximum supply: 30 days (One month's supply, worked out from the dosage on the label.)
What to do
- valid medical prescription issued in the country of departure (X)
- doctor's letter naming the patient, product (trade + INN), posology and total quantity (X)
- original prescription presented at customs (X)
- declare controlled medicines on arrival
