Is Pregabalin legal in Oman?
- Legal status
- Pregabalin is a controlled prescription medicine in Oman under MOH controlled-medicines rules, requiring a prescription and medical report to import — an abuse-driven control stricter than ordinary prescription status; a pregabalin-specific capital tier is not established.
- Consequences if caught
- Unauthorised import or possession is prosecuted; pregabalin is treated as a controlled medicine at the border.
- If prescribed or medical
- Dispensed as a controlled prescription medicine on prescription.
- Documentation
- Carry a medical report and valid prescription (each dated within 6 months) with patient and drug details, keep to roughly a one-month personal supply, and declare on arrival.
