Argentina Customs - entering with triplicate prescription medications
My college age son is going to Buenos Aires for a semester of study. He take prescription medication for his Attention Deficit Disorder. The drug is a triplicate prescription in this country because it can be abused. Should I be concerned about him entering Argentina with a four month's supply of Adderall in his suitcase? or am I just being a worry wart?
Thoughts?
Thanks

Just bring a letter of medical need from treating MD

including dose and duration of treatment.

and pharmacy records odds are great he will be just fine.
