Controlled Substance Laws

Meaning

Controlled Substance Laws refer to the federal and state legislative and regulatory framework governing the manufacture, distribution, and dispensing of medications deemed to have a potential for abuse or dependence. These laws are critical in the hormonal health space as they regulate access to androgens and other pharmaceuticals with high misuse potential. Compliance is mandatory for all prescribing practitioners and dispensing pharmacies to prevent drug diversion and safeguard public health. The regulations mandate strict record-keeping and inventory requirements for all scheduled drugs.
