Importer of Controlled Substances, Notice of Application, Noramco, Inc., 64142 [2012-25644]

Download as PDF 64142 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 202 / Thursday, October 18, 2012 / Notices prescriptions for controlled substances threatens the public health and safety, for it circumvents the checks and balances available in the pharmacist’s corresponding liability for the dispensing of controlled substances. [See 21 C.F.R. 1306.04]. Next Mr. Cohen advised Mr. Martinez to go back to buying controlled substances on the street if he needed more drugs than the ones already prescribed. [FOF 71]. Advising Mr. Martinez to engage in illegal activity in purchasing controlled substances in this manner promotes diversion and therefore, directly threatens the public health and safety. Lastly, Dr. Rubenstein found that the Respondent lacked concern for patient safety. He prescribed large amounts of controlled ¨ substances to opioid naıve patients. [FOF 30, 53, 56]. He also increased the amounts of controlled substances he prescribed, and such increases were unjustified and reflect a lack of concern for patient safety. [FOF 69, 72–74]. Dr. Rubenstein concluded that the increase in medication was not medically justified. [FOF 74]. The Respondent did not testify in this proceeding.23 Therefore, he neither took responsibility for his misconduct nor provided any assurances that he has implemented remedial measures to ensure such conduct is not repeated. Such silence weighs against the Respondent’s continued registration. [Medicine Shoppe, 73 Fed. Reg. at 387; see also Samuel S. Jackson, 72 Fed. Reg. 23,848, 23,853 (DEA 2007)]. V. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION Consistent with the analysis in this matter, I conclude that the Government has met its burden and established its prima facie case for revocation. The Respondent has failed to provide any explanation for his conduct or any assurances regarding his future conduct. Therefore, I recommend that the Respondent’s viable DEA registrations FP1312406, BP3429835, and BP8477639, be revoked and any pending applications for renewal or modification of such registrations be denied.
