Can I bring Ambien to Singapore?

Checked against UN INCB controlled substance lists and Singapore rules.

Why

Singapore requires prior approval for zolpidem.

Ambien contains a substance on the UN International Narcotics Control Board lists. Most countries that signed the UN drug conventions expect you to carry a prescription and declare it.

What to do

Apply for approval from the destination's health authority well before you travel. Carry the prescription, a doctor's letter and the original packaging.

Not legal or medical advice. Rules change and depend on dose, form and quantity. Always confirm with the Singapore embassy or health authority before you fly. We never tell you a medicine is "safe" to carry.
