ACTION: Clarification. AGENCY: SUMMARY: On January 18, 2005, DEA published in the Federal Register a solicitation of comments on the subject of dispensing controlled substances for the treatment of pain. Many of the comments that the agency received indicate that there is a need to issue a clarification regarding certain aspects of the prescription requirements for schedule II controlled substances. This document provides such clarification. DATES: August 26, 2005. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patricia M. Good, Chief, Liaison and Policy Section, Office of Diversion Control, Drug Enforcement Administration, Washington, DC 20537; Telephone: (202) 307–7297. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 18, 2005, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) published in the Federal Register a Solicitation of Comments on the subject of dispensing controlled substances for the treatment of pain. 70 FR 2883. Most of the comments that the agency received sought clarification on the legal requirements governing the prescribing of schedule II controlled substances by physicians in view of DEA’s November 16, 2004, Interim Policy Statement. 69 FR 67170. Given these comments, DEA wishes to reiterate the following principles under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and DEA regulations. PO 00000 Frm 00118 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 1. As the Interim Policy Statement states, ‘‘For a physician to prepare multiple prescriptions [for a schedule II controlled substance] on the same day with instructions to fill on different dates is tantamount to writing a prescription authorizing refills of a schedule II controlled substance.’’ To do so conflicts with the provision of the CSA which provides: ‘‘No prescription for a controlled substance in schedule II may be refilled.’’ 2. Many of the comments that DEA received were from patients who said they have been receiving prescriptions for schedule II controlled substances for several years (for example, for the treatment of severe pain or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and have gotten into a routine of seeing their physician once every three months. Many such commenters were under the mistaken impression that, because of the Interim Policy Statement, they now must begin seeing their physician every month. DEA wishes to make clear that the Interim Policy did not state that such patients must visit their physician’s office every month to pick up a new prescription. There is no such requirement in the CSA or DEA regulations. What is required, in each instance where a physician issues a prescription for any controlled substance, is that the physician properly determine there is a legitimate medical purpose for the patient to be prescribed that controlled substance and that the physician be acting in the usual course of professional practice. 21 CFR 1306.04(a); United States v. Moore, 423 U.S. 122 (1975). At the same time, schedule II controlled substances, by definition, have the highest potential for abuse, and are the most likely to cause dependence, of all the controlled substances that have an approved medical use. 21 U.S.C. 812(b). Physicians must, therefore, use the utmost care in determining whether their patients for whom they are prescribing schedule II controlled substances should be seen in person each time a prescription is issued or whether seeing the patient in person at somewhat less frequent intervals is consistent with sound medical practice and appropriate safeguards against diversion and misuse. Physicians must also abide by any requirements imposed by their state medical boards with respect to proper prescribing practices and what constitutes a bona fide physician-patient relationship. 21 U.S.C. 823(f)(1), (4). 3. Under the circumstances described in paragraph 2, in those instances where the physician (who regularly sees a patient) issues a prescription for a E:\FR\FM\26AUN1.SGM 26AUN1
