DEA Establishes Production Limits for Painkillers, With Some Drugs Set for Big Increases
From the article:
US drug regulators have set new production quotas for dozens of controlled substances regulated under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), establishing the quantities of the drugs which may be produced in 2015.
Quota Adjustments
In a 5 September 2014 Federal Register notice, the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which is charged with setting the quotas, released a list of dozens of schedule I and II controlled substances which will be subject to production quotas in 2015.
The question has to be asked… if the wholesalers continue to ration controls to pharmacies.. what is the use to have increased supplies ? Unless it just for the DEA to point to the fact that they INCREASED available supply and they are NOT causing the wholesalers to ration… SO ..they are not the genesis of problem with chronic pain pts getting their meds !
