Elvanse - ADHD Medication - taking overseas?

It's basically amphetamines, a controlled drug. We are flying at the weekend and it has suddenly occurred to my 20 year old that this could be an issue.

Any advice?

You probably need to look up the advice on government website for that country.

It's Spain. Googling now.

Check advice for specific country. Usually you would need a copy of the prescription and take the medication in the box with the prescription label on. But some countries might not allow it at all.

I take loads of meds and I’ve never even been asked what they are. Drug dealers don’t tend to only bring 7 tablets for personal use.

No issue at all, but make sure the medication is in its original packaging with the name on it etc.
