SB1024

Missouri SB1024 modifies opioid prescription regulations, limiting initial supplies and requiring consultations.

Missouri SB1024 modifies provisions relating to opioid prescriptions by limiting the initial supply of opioid controlled substances to a seven-day quantity for acute pain, with exceptions for certain conditions. Practitioners must consult with patients about the risks of opioid use, including addiction and overdose, and document these discussions in the patient's medical record. The bill also limits the quantity of Schedule II controlled substances to a thirty-day supply and Schedule III, IV, or V controlled substances to a ninety-day supply, with potential extensions for medical reasons.
