Is Pregabalin legal in Jordan?
- Legal status
- Pregabalin is a restricted controlled prescription medicine in Jordan — the Jordan Food and Drug Administration (JFDA) placed pregabalin-containing products on its restricted-dispensing list (from 2014) after documented diversion and abuse, so it may be sold only against a medical prescription rather than freely over the counter.
- Consequences if caught
- Unprescribed pregabalin is treated as a restricted controlled medicine and is prosecuted; it is a documented drug of abuse and diversion in Jordan.
- If prescribed or medical
- Dispensed as a restricted prescription medicine under JFDA control.
- Documentation
- Carry only prescribed quantities with documentation (prescription and doctor's letter).
