Opioid Prescribing Limitation |
Introduction
Sound Off:
Legislative language has recently emerged in Tallahassee that would prohibit a physician from writing an initial opioid prescription for more than 5-days regardless of patient need or circumstance. The proposed legislation does not provide any avenue for a treating physician to use their best medical judgment and the best interests of their patient to deviate from this restriction. The limitation would apply in all instances including after a traumatic incident or scheduled surgery.
