Benzodiazepine (anxiety), controlled substance · ATC N05BA12
Alprazolam
Xanax in the US
The international (INN) name. Pharmacists everywhere recognize it, even when the local brand differs (e.g. Xanax, Tafil, Solanax).
Schedule IV controlled substance. Pack only what you need for the trip and keep it in the original labeled bottle. Flying within the US needs no paperwork. Arriving from abroad, declare it at customs and carry a prescription or doctor’s note in English.
Licensed in the UK but not prescribed on the NHS, so it is only available on a private prescription.
Still sold under this brand in Canada. Scheduled as a Targeted Substance (CDSA IV).
Prescription-only. Tablets up to 1 mg are exempt from the narcotics rules, so it is not treated as a controlled narcotic and goes on an ordinary prescription.
A psychotropic under Japanese law. The amount you may bring without permission is set per medicine and is low for this one: 72 mg in total. Above that, carry a doctor’s certificate stating your condition and the amount you need.
HSA-registered (SIN01985P); controlled substance under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
A controlled psychotropic. In Italy it is dispensed on an ordinary prescription.
