Tutti gli stupefacenti e le sostanze psicotrope sono iscritti in cinque tabelle che vengono aggiornate ogni qualvolta si presenti la necessità di inserire una nuova sostanza o di variarne la collocazione o di provvedere ad una eventuale cancellazione.https://web.archive.org/web/20250725153115/https://www.salute.gov.it/new/it/tema/medicinali-stupefacenti-e-precursori-di-droghe/tabelle-delle-sostanze-stupefacenti-e/?paragraph=0
Tenuto conto che tale sostanza non e' presente attualmente nelle tabelle di cui al decreto del Presidente della Repubblica n. 309/9090 e pertanto non e' soggetta alle misure di controllo previste per i farmaci stupefacenti al seguito del viaggiatore di cui al d.m. 16 novembre 2007 e alle procedure di importazione di cui d.m. 11 febbraio 1997;https://www.gazzettaufficiale.it/atto/serie_generale/caricaArticoloDefault/originario?atto.dataPubblicazioneGazzetta=2025-05-07&atto.codiceRedazionale=25A02580&atto.tipoProvvedimento=DECRETO
I farmaci possono essere importati a seguito del passeggero qualora il quantitativo sia compatibile con il soggiorno previsto in Italia e vi sia, almeno in lingua inglese, una regolare prescrizione medica, laddove prevista dalla normativa, che ne indichi preferibilmente la posologia, da esibire alle autorità sanitarie e doganali in caso di richiesta.https://www.adm.gov.it/portale/documents/20182/909438/Carta%2Bdoganale%2Bdel%2Bviaggiatore_luglio%2B2025.pdf
Per tutte le categorie di farmaci che vengono portati personalmente dal viaggiatore al momento dell’ingresso nel territorio nazionale, ad eccezione degli stupefacenti, delle sostanze psicotrope e della sostanze dopanti, non esistono prescrizioni normative (art. 25 del D.Lgs. n. 178/1991), anche se nella prassi ormai consueta, per notevoli quantitativi, che eccedano un presumibile consumo di 30 giorni di terapia, le autorità sanitarie e doganali di frontiera richiedono al passeggero l’esibizione della prescrizione medica.https://conslondra.esteri.it/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/02_AssistenzaSociale_quantitativi_massimi_farmaci.doc
