Xylazine in Dominica: not individually verified

We have not confirmed that Xylazine specifically is scheduled in Dominica, so this page gives no legal status. Publishing a guess here would be worse than publishing nothing. What we do know is the governing national drug law, below.

What is on record

Not confirmed. No entry for Xylazine was found in Part I, Part II or Part III of the Third Schedule to the Drugs (Prevention of Misuse) Act, Chapter 40:07, on a reading of the three complete printed lists as page images at the revision note «L.R.O. 1/1991» printed in the footer of those pages. No thiazine is printed in Parts I to III and no veterinary sedative under any description. The Act does contemplate veterinary practice: paragraph 1(1)(a) of the Second Schedule requires the Advisory Council to include at least one person with wide and recent experience of each activity listed in subparagraph (2), and subparagraph (2)(c) lists the practice of veterinary medicine. That is a rule about who sits on the Council and not a scheduling clause, and nothing in the printed lists reaches this compound. The absence is bounded by that revision and by nothing further: section 4(3) lets the Minister amend Parts I to III by Order after consulting the Advisory Council, Orders of that kind are published separately, and this consolidation reproduces none made after the note its Schedule pages carry. So about thirty five years of possible additions sit outside what was read, and that gap is why this row is left open here rather than published as a finding that the substance is uncontrolled in Dominica.

Confirm directly with Dominica’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.
