Ephedrine in Russia: not individually verified
We have not confirmed that Ephedrine specifically is scheduled in Russia, so this page gives no legal status. Publishing a guess here would be worse than publishing nothing. What we do know is the governing national drug law, below.
- What is on record
- Not confirmed. The dossier places ephedrine among the precursors of Decree 681, at the entry «Эфедрин и его соли» (in English, ephedrine and its salts), and names Decree 1020 for its amounts and articles 228.3 and 228.4 of the Criminal Code for the offences, but it records no sentence for either article, so the cell is held rather than published with its penalty missing. The list number in the dossier's instrument column, List IV, is not printed in the quoted list entry. Search record from the dossier for this row: instruments checked, Decree 681, List IV; Decree 1020; Criminal Code arts 228.3 to 228.4; text quoted, «Эфедрин и его соли»; Decree 1020: «крупный и особо крупный размеры» / “large and especially large amounts”; checked 18 Sep 2026; finding, “List IV precursor; Decree 1020 supplies precursor amounts, not Decree 1002.”
Confirm directly with Russia’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.
