Is Xanax (Alprazolam) legal in Uzbekistan?

Legal status

Controlled in Uzbekistan. Alprazolam is named in its own row of the quantity annexes to Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 330 of 12 November 2015. The dossier quotes that row in the Russian official version as «Алпразолам» (alprazolam), with three threshold cells: «0,003 g»; «0,003 to 0,03 g»; «>0,03 g». The row was checked on 18 September 2026. The dossier does not record which of the resolution's controlled Lists I to IV carries the substance, so this cell names none of them.

Consequences if caught

Capital exposure: none. The dossier quotes article 25 of the Constitution: «В Республике Узбекистан смертная казнь запрещается» (the death penalty is prohibited in the Republic of Uzbekistan). It gives the statutory ceiling for drug offences as twenty years, quoting Criminal Code article 273(5): «наказывается лишением свободы от десяти до двадцати лет» (punishable by deprivation of liberty for ten to twenty years). For alprazolam the quantity annex prints the threshold cells «0,003 g», «0,003 to 0,03 g» and «>0,03 g». The dossier's preamble says the resolution prints small, exceeding small and large quantities, but the row does not label its three cells, so this cell does not say which category or offence band each figure opens. The row quotes no article for possession, supply, sale, import, export, manufacture or cultivation of alprazolam other than the twenty year ceiling in article 273(5).

If prescribed or medical

The dossier row this cell rests on does not state a prescription or medical route for alprazolam, and this cell states none.

Documentation

The dossier row this cell rests on does not state an import permit, a traveller allowance or any other documentation rule for alprazolam. The dossier row records one URL, https://lex.uz/docs/2815342. The dossier's source and access record gives https://lex.uz/docs/111453 as its penal source, cited here for the Criminal Code. It gives no URL for the Constitution, which is cited by name.

Drug laws and enforcement change and vary within a country. This is not legal advice. Always confirm with Uzbekistan’s embassy or official drug authority before traveling; penalties can be severe, including imprisonment.
