There may be several reasons for purchasing a drug online: to buy a drug that is not on the Slovak pharmacological market, to buy a drug that will help with lucid dreaming, or a MAO inhibitor for DMT use.
They have the authority (under EU law) to seize only drugs that are narcotics, sedatives, drug precursors, or if they are dubious garage companies or companies, e.g. from India, where the quality of the drug cannot be proven and therefore it can be extremely dangerous for health.
It is also important that the medicine has a detailed package leaflet with it.

In Slovakia, it will certainly go very smoothly. In addition, I have also informed the customs officers about the existence of OTC drugs.
According to the laws of the Czech Republic, prescription drugs sent by mail from abroad are "illegal", but in accordance with the applicable legislation, goods that are very dangerous/risky to health should be seized first. http://www.zakonyprolidi.cz/cs/2007-378#p87 (this is a stretch, it should be amended). As the customs officers themselves say, in the vast majority of cases, the seized goods are within the Czech Post. So, of course, if you want to avoid seizure, there is a simple piece of advice: have the goods sent via a different delivery service than Czech Post, if such an option is available.
In Slovakia, it seems that buying medicines online is completely legal, as long as the medicine is not a drug (drug precursor) or there is no suspicion of any major health risk associated with the medicine.

Interesting fact – the drug guanfacine is among the most frequently seized drugs by customs officers in the Czech Republic.
In the Slovak and Czech pharmacological market, there are no drugs such as guanfacine registered. Guanfacine is indicated for post-traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, anxiety, and sleep disorders. It is good for everything for which psychiatrists in Slovakia would prescribe addictive benzodiazepine sedatives, which is a very, very unfortunate solution. What caught my attention is that in the Czech Republic, where the controversial drug law very clearly states a ban on drugs sent from abroad, this drug was among the most frequently confiscated.
Propranolol and Metoprolol
Among the most frequently seized drugs in the Czech Republic are propranolol and metoprolol. Both drugs are beta-blockers, which have the unique property of penetrating the brain, which has "psychoactive" effects, such as vivid, intense dreaming. Both drugs are also suitable for panic disorder and help some patients with depression. Of the two drugs, only metoprolol is registered with the State Institute for Drug Control in Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
Propranolol also has other effects: it reduces hand tremors during stress and is used as a doping agent by athletes – shooters.
Active substances contained in medicinal products that are most often the subject of non-commercial imports from third countries and whose import is prohibited (updated as of 10 April 2014).

Another very unpleasant problem for Slovak psychiatry is the lack of certain types of medicines for which there is no alternative. These include drugs such as clonidine, guanfacine, and prazosin.
Adrenaline alpha-2 receptor agonist drugs (e.g. clonidine or guanfacine) are also good, which work by reducing the level of noradrenaline in the blood and brain.
Drugs such as clonidine or gunfacine reduce the level of noradrenaline. They are perfect for all anxiety disorders.
If the patient wants to treat themselves, they can buy these medicines from abroad by mail order via the Internet.
Adrenaline alpha 2 receptor agonists antagonize/reduce the activity of all other adrenaline receptors by reducing the level of noradrenaline.
