The Controlled Substances Act (CSA) places all substances that were in some manner regulated under existing federal law into one of five schedules. This placement is based on the substance’s medical use, potential for abuse, and safety or dependence liability (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, n.d.).
Please speak to your Provider if you are concerned about any medication you may have been prescribed on this list.
A patient who is actively taking a controlled medication is required by law to meet with their Provider at least once every 3 months, and the appointment must be face-to-face.
Please note if you have not been seen in at least 3 months, your Provider will NOT refill your prescription until you are seen.
Controlled medications are not allowed to have refills on them. Therefore, it is the patient’s responsibility to follow the refill guidelines to ensure their prescription is refilled on time.
Please note that when picking up this medication at your pharmacy of choice, you must have a form of identification verification.
