In the last decade, shortages of prescription drugs containing
controlled substances, such as narcotics and stimulants, have
increased nationwide, preventing providers and patients from
accessing essential medications for treatment. Controlled
substances are regulated by DEA because of the potential for abuse
and addiction. To prevent diversion of controlled substances, DEA
sets quotas that limit the amount of certain substances that are
available in the United States. This book examines the trends in
such shortages; the effect on patients and providers; DEA's
administration of the quota process; coordination between DEA and
FDA to prevent and mitigate shortages; how DEA manages diversion
investigation efforts; and how DEA ensures policies and procedures
are followed for investigations and the extent to which it
determines the results of its efforts.
