- FDA Extends REMS Comment Period to October 19, 2010
The Food and Drug Administration is now developing Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) for certain opioid drugs. They are intended to ensure that the benefits of these drugs continue to outweigh certain risks and may include limits on prescribing and dispensing them as well as education about the risks.
As a person with an interest in pain and its management, you have a right to take part in the discussion that will lead to the final REMS for opioid medications.
