Names and classes

What is my medication called generically?

A customs declaration, a permit application and a doctor's letter ask for the generic name, because a country's schedule of controlled substances is written against the substance and not against the brand on the box. Pick your medication for the name to write down and the countries that class it differently, or check your whole itinerary at once.
