Q
I take prescription medication for ADHD. Could that get me in trouble in Korea?
A Answer
It can. Some medications that are legally prescribed abroad, including certain amphetamine-based ADHD drugs, are controlled or prohibited in Korea. Bringing them in without the required prior approval from Korean authorities can lead to an investigation. If you are already being questioned, bring your prescription and medical records to your lawyer immediately.
