On est peu de chose finalement.

gyptian authorities have detained a British woman who entered the country carrying painkillers.
Laura Plummer, 33, a shop worker who lives in Hull, was arrested after 290 tramadol tablets and some naproxen for her husband’s sore back was found in her suitcase.
She then reportedly signed her name beneath a 38-page statement in Arabic, upon request, believing she would be able to leave the airport afterwards and begin her two-week break by Red Sea.

290 comprimés de tramadol (dosés à ?), qui est certes un antalgique mais opiacé, pour 15 jours, soit une moyenne de quasiment 20 comprimés par jour, ça fait quand même beaucoup.

Many treatments available over the counter in Britain are strictly controlled abroad

The 33-year-old from Hull had flown to the Egyptian resort of Hurghada to visit her husband, who suffers from back pain. Before she left, a friend who had been prescribed with several hundred Tramadol tablets gave them to Ms Plummer so that she could take them to her husband.
There are several questions that the NHS will be keen to ask about how controlled medication in such quantities was obtained by one person (normally prescriptions are restricted to 30 days’ supply), and then taken out of the UK by someone else.
As it is, unfortunately she arrived with a significant quantity of medicines which are regarded as illegal drugs in Egypt.
Il semble que l’article n’est pas très clair car le tramadol semble vendu sur ordonnance au Royaume-Uni et non pas over the counter

Tramadol - Wikipedia
▻https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tramadol
sur ordonnances spéciales, mais pas de registre des délivrances…
The UK classified tramadol as a Schedule 3 controlled drug (CD) on 10 June 2014, but exempted it from the safe custody requirement.
Controlled Drug in the United Kingdom - Wikipedia
▻https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_Drug_in_the_United_Kingdom
Schedule 3 - CD No Reg
Include drugs subject to the same prescription requirements as Schedule 2 drugs, but without the requirement to maintain registers. With the exception of phenobarbitone or related drugs for treatment of epilepsy, no Sch 3 drug can be given as an emergency supply. [No safe custody for tramadol]
apparemment, similaire à la délivrance de stupéfiants en pharmacie en France (mais sans conservation dans un lieu sécurisé)
