Where is the best place to see what medications might be restricted or banned in certain countries?
That’s a great question without a great answer. Unfortunately, there is no one fool-proof source of reliable information. Government websites rarely have up-to-date information and will typically refer inquiries to the embassy of the country to be visited, which may refer you to someone else, and so on. You may be able to get some information on the internet by comparing several different sources. About the best source is www.incb.org. This is the International Narcotics Control Board, which is responsible for the agreements governing the transport of narcotic and psychotropic drugs across international borders. It is important to remember that while some drugs will fall under these agreements, it is ultimately the decision of the country as to what it will and will not allow. If your company has an agreement with an international risk management firm they may provide this information as part of their package.
