Can Tramadol be taken with you on holiday to Turkey?

[Humble Pi]

My mom is in the throws of recovering from a very bad bout of sciatica. They're going to Turkey on Sunday and she wants to take all her precribed medication with her in case it flares up again.

Is she OK to take Tramadol with her?

[NDA]

I am not an expert - just applying some common sense.

Tramadol is illegal in Turkey... however.... if she is taking a small amount AND has her prescription with her, then she should be fine.

Some documentation and just the amount she needs is vital I should think.

She’s got the prescription for the Tramadol but not for the cocodemol she was also going to take.

I would check with the Turkish Embassy, wouldn't want your mum in one of their prisons.

As well as the prescription, you may need a doctor's letter.
