Is Scopolamine (Devil's Breath) legal in Poland?
- Legal status
- Skopolamina (hyoscine) is a registered prescription/pharmacy medicine, not a controlled substance: hioscyna and butylobromek products are entered in the URPL Rejestr Produktów Leczniczych under Prawo farmaceutyczne and are absent from the schedules of the Ustawa o przeciwdziałaniu narkomanii.
- Consequences if caught
- Skopolamina attracts no anti-drug-abuse-act penalty; unauthorised supply of a prescription medicine is a pharmaceutical-law breach only.
- If prescribed or medical
- Scopolamine (premedication, motion sickness) is prescribed; butylobromek hioscyny (Buscopan) is dispensed for spasm.
- Documentation
- Buscopan and scopolamine products are entered in the URPL Register of Medicinal Products; carried lawfully.
