New Rules for Blocking Suspicious Drug Orders
This act introduces new obligations for companies and pharmacies to identify and block suspicious drug orders to prevent their illegal distribution. This aims to enhance public safety by limiting access to controlled substances that could be misused. Citizens may feel more confident that medications are distributed safely and controlled.
Key points
Companies and pharmacies must now more thoroughly check drug orders for unusual size, frequency, or patterns.
For suspicious orders, companies and pharmacies will be required to decline fulfillment and report them to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
Clear guidelines will be established on what constitutes a "suspicious order" and how due diligence should be performed.
The goal is to reduce illegal drug trafficking, including opioids, without hindering access to medications for opioid use disorder.
