The Finnish Center for Integrity in Sports’ (FINCIS) KAMU medicine search is based on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) Prohibited list 2025, according to which substances are classified as prohibited substances, substances prohibited under certain conditions and permitted substances. In addition to WADA’s list, some international sports federations have prohibited other substances in their own rules. Such possible additional prohibited substances found in the rules of these federations are not included in the classification in the KAMU medicine search.
Users of the search are responsible for checking that the medicine is correct and when checking, taking the route of administration and dosage into account. In the medicine search, you can only check prescription medication and over-the-counter medicines available in Finland. The medicine search does not include products requiring a special permit. In Finland and other countries, medication may be available with the same name but containing different pharmacological substances. For this reason, the permissibility of medicine obtained abroad must not be checked in the KAMU medicine search. If you cannot find the medication you were looking for, please contact FINCIS. It’s good to bear in mind that the athletes themselves are always responsible for the preparations they use.
