Can I bring codeine to Singapore?

Checked against UN INCB controlled substance lists and Singapore rules.

Why

Singapore requires prior approval from the Health Sciences Authority to bring in codeine-containing medicine.

codeine 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.
