What are some of the issues and challenges associated with the abuse of prescription drugs concerning the physicians?
Some believe that use of monitoring systems (and the potential for associated sanctioning for improper conduct) has created a chilling effect among some physicians who may become reluctant to prescribe closely-monitored drugs, and may reduce or alter their prescribing behaviours. Clearly, in order for such monitoring initiatives to provide optimal efficacy, there must be a balance between the treatment of legitimate pain and the reduction of prescription drug abuse.
