Is Tramadol legal in Aceh (Indonesia)?
- Legal status
- In Aceh tramadol is governed by national law as an Obat-Obat Tertentu (OOT) under BPOM Regulation 10/2019 (with Law 35/2009 governing narcotics); it is not covered by Aceh's Qanun Jinayat, and national capital penalties attach to golongan I narcotics, not tramadol.
- Consequences if caught
- National OOT/prescription penalties apply; the Qanun's caning targets alcohol and morality offences, not carried prescription medicines, and tramadol is not death-eligible.
- If prescribed or medical
- Dispensed as a prescription-only OOT medicine under national law.
- Documentation
- As on mainland Indonesia, carry a prescription and doctor's letter; Aceh Sharia enforcement targets alcohol/morality, not carried prescription medicines.
