Operative words
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) made an allowance for certain Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS)-certified healthcare providers (HCPs) to provide medically supervised treatment in the patient's home during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Public Health Emergency. As an alternative to this, would DEA allow HCPs to administer REMS-designated controlled substances to patients in the parking lot at the HCPs' DEA-registered locations? Answer:... DEA will allow the administration of REMS-designated controlled substances in the parking lot of the registered location during the COVID-19 public health emergency, subject to the conditions stated.
Enforcement
Registration and dispensing requirements under 21 U.S.C. 822 and 842
Notes
Behavioral-health and pain clinics administering esketamine and similar REMS drugs moved administration outdoors.
