India Advises Travellers to Russia on Restrictions for Five Medicines
The Indian Embassy in Moscow has issued an advisory warning Indian travellers to Russia against carrying five restricted medicines—Pregabalin, Dextromethorphan, Codeine, Testosterone, and Clonazepam—without proper medical documentation, including prescriptions and notarised Russian translations. Violations may lead to confiscation or arrest by Russian authorities, who classify these drugs under strict legal categories. Travellers are advised to declare such medicines at customs and carry valid documentation to avoid legal consequences.
