Controlled substances like Adderall will be allowed to be prescribed online into late 2024, US health and drug officials said, reversing their earlier position that restrictions on the drugs would be reinstated as the pandemic eased.
Health-care providers can prescribe controlled substances online through Nov. 11, according an advance copy of a rule posted online Tuesday. In addition, practitioners who establish relationships with patients on or prior to that date can continue to prescribe controlled substances for an additional year.
