Xylazine in Nicaragua: not individually verified
We have not confirmed that Xylazine specifically is scheduled in Nicaragua, 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. Xylazine was not settled against Nicaragua's controlled list in this pass. Xylazine is not named in the annexed lists. It is a veterinary sedative and not a substance the international schedules carry, so its control in Nicaragua would run through veterinary medicines regulation rather than this title. The lists relied on are those as annexed in 1999 and carried into Ley No. 735 by article 101 of the consolidated text published in La Gaceta Diario Oficial No. 32 of 20 February 2024. That reading does not rule out a later incorporation by the Ministry of Health, which article 1 permits to be published in any newspaper of national circulation before it reaches the gazette.
Confirm directly with Nicaragua’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.
