ADHD medication titration
Travelling with ADHD medication
Some ADHD medicines are controlled drugs. Travel rules can vary by country.
Before travelling, check
- Is your medication a controlled drug?
- Do you need a copy of your prescription?
- Do you need a letter from your doctor or prescriber?
- Are there limits on how much you can carry?
- Does your destination country have stricter rules?
- Will time zones affect when you normally take medication?
- Do you have enough medication for the trip?
- What should you do if travel is delayed?
Carry medication in its original packaging where possible, and keep it in your hand luggage.
Check official guidance before you travel. If you are unsure, ask your prescriber, GP, pharmacist, airline, embassy, or travel clinic as appropriate.
Titrio Focus can help you record your medication routine, but it does not provide legal travel advice.
Safety note
This guide is for general information only. It does not replace advice from your prescriber, GP, pharmacist or specialist ADHD service. Do not change your medication, dose or timing without speaking to your prescriber.
If you feel seriously unwell, seek urgent medical advice. In the UK, use NHS 111 for urgent advice or call 999 in an emergency.
