6 This means that it will be unlawful to supply, possess with intent to supply, produce, and import or export ethylphenidate, 3,4-dichloromethylphenidate, methylnaphthidate (HDMP-28), isopropylphenidate and propylphenidate, and their simple derivatives, except under licence issued by the Home Office.
