Is Tramadol legal in Jordan?
- Legal status
- Tramadol is placed under national control in Jordan by the JFDA (named among countries controlling tramadol per INCB Alert 7, 2018) as a controlled prescription medicine; its specific JFDA schedule table is left to confirmation, and while Jordan retains the death penalty for aggravated narcotics trafficking, a tramadol-specific capital tier is left to confirmation.
- Consequences if caught
- Unprescribed tramadol is treated as a controlled medicine and is prosecuted; the tramadol-specific capital tier is left to confirmation.
- If prescribed or medical
- PRESCRIPTION AVAILABILITY NOT CONFIRMED. Tramadol sits outside the 1961 and 1971 Convention schedules, so no INCB estimate or assessment covers it. The Jordan Food and Drug Administration publishes consolidated narcotic, psychotropic and precursor schedule tables (edition dated 7 October 2025), but jfda.jo did not respond on either host (connection timed out), so the JFDA listing could not be read. The control status above is what is established; tramadol's Jordanian prescription status is not confirmed here.
- Documentation
- Carry only prescribed quantities with documentation (prescription and doctor's letter).
