AMA releases fact sheet to help physicians comply with new hydrocodone regs.

Medical News Inc. (9/24) reports that on Sept. 18, the American Medical Association “released a new fact sheet...to assist physicians in complying with new federal regulations on prescribing hydrocodone and help avoid disruptions in patient care.” A new “rule, effective October 6, 2014, reschedules hydrocodone combination products (HCPs) into Controlled Substance Schedule II.” In a statement, AMA president Robert M. Wah, MD, said, “This new fact sheet explains how new regulatory changes impact both physicians and pharmacists, which will help ensure patients continue having access to the care they need under the new federal rule.” The fact sheet can be seen here.
