LARA Revises Controlled Substance Administrative Rules (SNF/AL)

The Michigan Department of Licensing & Regulatory Affairs (LARA) recently revised the Administrative Rules for prescribing of controlled substances; the changes are effective immediately.

Please note: Gabapentin was removed from the controlled substance list. A prescriber without a controlled substance license can now prescribe Gabapentin, and Gabapentin no longer needs to be included in reporting to the Michigan Automated Prescription System. Despite this, prescribers should continue to monitor the use and potential misuse of this drug. Click here for a summary of the significant rule changes.
