Controlled Substances Regulations

Meaning

Controlled Substances Regulations are the comprehensive legal and administrative rules governing the manufacture, distribution, prescribing, and dispensing of medications categorized by governmental agencies due to their potential for abuse or dependence. These regulations mandate strict record-keeping, security measures, and prescribing limits to prevent diversion and ensure legitimate medical use. In the domain of hormonal health, this often pertains to anabolic steroids, certain testosterone formulations, and other compounds that possess performance-enhancing or psychoactive properties. Adherence to these protocols is a non-negotiable requirement for clinical practice involving these specialized therapies.
