Follow on Google News | TriState Pain Institute Providers Promote Safe Use of Narcotic MedicationAccording to the FDA, their determination came after vigilant analysis and recommendations from patients, healthcare providers, outside experts, and government entities. By early December, the FDA hopes to have the formal recommendation package delivered to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The FDA, along with medical professionals nationwide, hope these restrictions will help reduce abuse and diversion of medications, which can place public safety at risk when not taken or managed properly. Dr. Benjamin Venger, Dr. Charles Stevens, and all at the TriState Pain Institute follow FDA guidelines in an effort to ensure patient safety and quality of their care programs. By offering interventional treatment programs, genetic testing for drug metabolism, and by prescribing non-addicting medication alternatives, the TriState Pain Institute provides other treatment options to controlled substances such as Vicodin. Furthermore, educating the patient into the risks and benefits of any medication or category of drug provides insight into rational and realistic patient expectations. Stricter accountability for medication management may ultimately result in less abuse. However these measures do not replace a rational foundation for prescribing pain medications: If you suffer from chronic pain and are interested in speaking with our providers, contact TriState Pain Institute at 928-788-3333 today.
