• Activity INFORMATION

  Overview

  Join us for a dynamic review of substances of abuse utilization, market, and policy trends from across the globe. Healthcare professionals continually need to be up-to-date with all levels of policy and law, particularly pertaining to substances of abuse that are also available as prescription medications. It is in the best interest of pharmacists looking to provide the highest quality patient care to stay abreast of common legal drug misuse/abuse and illicit drug market trends. The crossroads of legal medications and illegal drugs can sometimes even be the same chemical, yet with incredibly different pricing, policy, and patient care aspects to consider.
