Full details

Lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse/Elvanse) is classified as an amphetamine derivative and is prohibited in Japan regardless of prescription status — no import permit pathway exists for personal use. China, South Korea, and most of Southeast Asia prohibit or. Enforcement in Malaysia carries fines from MYR 500 to MYR 100,000 under Customs Act 1967 s.135 (false declaration); Sales Tax Act 2018 (typical personal cases are handled as civil infringements).

PENALTIES

  • Fine: 500–100000 MYR
  • Civil penalty only

Leaving Malaysia with vyvanse / lisdexamfetamine

RESTRICTEDVyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) is a controlled stimulant; personal export from Malaysia requires prescription documentation and stays within personal-use limits.

Lisdexamfetamine is a Schedule II-equivalent controlled stimulant under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 framework. Personal-use quantities (typically ≤30-90 days' supply) accompanied by the prescription and doctor's letter are generally permitted for export from Malaysia; above these limits a Pharmaceutical Services Programme (MoH Malaysia) authorisation is required in advance. Destination-side treatment is the sharper risk — several countries (Japan requires advance permission; some jurisdictions ban amphetamine-class medicines outright) restrict arrival with stimulant ADHD medication, so verify the arrival rule for the same route.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Carry documentation. Declare proactively at customs. If unsure, declare on arrival — declared goods at worst attract duty or surrender, while undeclared goods found in screening are seized and fined.
