Dave Clark P.D., IPA executive director, said the announcement was an effort by pharmacists and doctors to address one of the major prescription drug abuse problems in Indiana. Under the rule, which took effect July 1, doctors are prohibited from prescribing and dispensing Schedule II amphetamines for weight loss. An American Medical Associa-tion-sponsored Prescription Data Abuse Synthesis (PADS) study indicated that Indiana ranked sixth nationally in per capita consumption of amphetamines. Both the ISMA and IPA participated in the PADS study. The high usage suggested amphetamines were prescription drugs that illegitimately were being diverted and abused, said ISMA Executive Director, Richard King. “After the study was released.

also required to perform a physical exam on patients before prescribing these lower-scheduled drugs. “We are a weight conscious society, but we also realize the addicting properties of amphetamines,” Clark said. “The new rule means doctors must change their prescribing practices for patients who wish to lose weight,” King noted.
