Ritalin, ConcertaThe generic name is methylphenidate, and this is how countries class it

How countries class it

Our records class methylphenidate as psychotropic unless the country says otherwise. 163 of our 198 country records answer it from that country's rule for the class, so it is treated the same as every other medicine in it. The rest name it directly, either by putting it in a different class or by stating a status of its own.

Each country page carries the wording, what the country asks you to bring, and the government source it came from. Nothing on this page is sourced by itself, so read the row you care about on its own page before you act on it.

Where it is recorded as banned

Two things put a country here. Either its record names methylphenidate itself, or the country bans the whole class it sits in, which covers more medicines than this one.

Confirm a ban yourself. These rows summarise what the record says. Open the country page for the exact wording and the government page it came from, then ask that authority or the country's embassy in writing before you book.
