Can Savvy Nomad forward prescription drugs internationally?

No. Savvy Nomad can’t forward prescription medications internationally due to strict legal regulations.

Savvy Nomad is legally prohibited from receiving or forwarding prescription drugs, especially controlled medications (like Adderall or Oxycodone), internationally. U.S. federal regulations strictly control prescription medications, allowing only licensed pharmacies and authorized distributors to handle, ship, or export these substances.

Even though you may have a valid prescription, forwarding medications internationally through our service would violate U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and postal regulations. Additionally, the country where you’re receiving the medication usually has strict import rules, meaning your medication could be confiscated by customs, causing serious legal complications.

What we recommend instead:

Plan ahead: Get an extended prescription or medication supply directly from your doctor before traveling.

Local healthcare: Consult a healthcare provider in your current country to obtain the medication legally and safely.

Savvy Nomad prioritizes your safety and compliance with international laws, so we cannot facilitate prescription drug shipments internationally.
