The rules for Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)
NMRA's instruction for travellers allows a person to carry their own medicine without prior NMRA approval up to the quantity needed for the length of the stay or 90 days, whichever is less, with prior approval needed above that. The medicine must be in its original container, or labelled to identify its name, strength and usage instructions, and medical records or the prescription must be produced when required. NMRA excludes medicine specified in Schedule III of the Cosmetics, Devices and Drugs Act from that allowance, and separately places psychotropic substances in Schedule IIB. Lisdexamfetamine falls inside the allowance only on the reading of those two statements together. No NMRA source names lisdexamfetamine, and no accessible NMRA product register confirmed whether it is registered in Sri Lanka, so both its eligibility for the allowance and its availability are unconfirmed. NMRA (info@nmra.gov.lk, +94 11 2698896, personal-use imports pa5@nmra.gov.lk) is the authority to confirm this with before travelling.
Maximum supply: 90 days (The quantity needed for the length of the stay, or 90 days, whichever is less. Above that, prior NMRA approval is required. The 90 days is NMRA's general traveller allowance, and it reaches stimulants only on the reading that they are Schedule IIB and so are not the Schedule III medicine NMRA excludes.)
