Can you bring Wegovy to Brazil?

• Injectable medication

  allowed, within limits

  Insulin and GLP-1 injectable medicines (semaglutide/Ozempic/Wegovy, tirzepatide/Mounjaro/Zepbound) fall under 'medicamentos, incluindo os biológicos' in ANVISA's baggage rules: the personal-use quantity must be compatible with your treatment and length of stay in Brazil, with no fixed numeric day-supply cap published. A medical prescription may be requested if the quantity looks excessive for the trip. Needles, syringes and pen injectors are 'produtos médicos' (medical products) under the same personal-use rule.

  None of these substances are narcotics or psychotropics under Portaria 344/1998, so the stricter ANVISA controlled-substances import regime (see the 'controlled medication' entry for Brazil) does not apply to them. ANVISA's baggage-rules page does not name insulin, semaglutide, tirzepatide, or needles specifically — it addresses them only through the general 'biológicos'/'produtos médicos' categories — so no drug-specific guidance (e.g. sharps handling, a syringe-count cap) was found on a primary source in this pass.

  Also covers: insulin, ozempic, semaglutide, wegovy, mounjaro, tirzepatide, zepbound, glp-1, needles, syringes, pen injector
