AGREEMENT FOR PRESCRIPTION REQUESTS AND USE OF
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES
As a Neurosurgical practice our treatment is directed towards a neurosurgical solution. Part of your treatment may involve the prescription of analgesic (pain relieving) medications. Analgesic medications do occasionally cause side effects which are more often mild and very manageable. Labs will be ordered periodically as these drugs are cleared through the body by the liver and kidney.
Treatment for pain is done for the acute period. This period should be expected to be 6‐8 weeks only. If you have been on analgesic pain medication for 3 months or longer you may require formal pain management and may be referred to a pain management specialist. Although the majority of patients control their medications well, and follow their doctor’s orders very strictly, there are some patients that are prone to harmful medication dependency or addiction. Because of this, the State and Federal government carefully regulate many pain medications. This means that the use of these medications involve mutual responsibility between the patient and physician.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. THEY MUST BE FOLLOWED FOR YOUR PHYSICIAN TO PRESCRIBE AND TREAT YOU SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY.
1. Medication must be used as prescribed and directed unless discussed with your physician. It is life threatening to chew or take a partial tablet of a long acting medication. These include but are not limited to Oxycontin and MS Contin. Increasing your dose without close supervision of your physician could lead to drug overdose, causing severe sedation, respiratory depression and death.
2. If you have a reaction to your medication DO NOT FLUSH IT OR THROW IT AWAY. You may be required to bring the remainder to the office to replace with a new prescription.
3. Per the Board of Medical Examiners Regulations, Sec. 1 Chapter 630 and our office policy, controlled substance medications are to be obtained from only one physician. It is a FELONY to knowingly obtain controlled medications from one practitioner without disclosing this fact to all prescribing practitioners.
4. You should discuss any medication changes with your physicians at your appointments and inform them of any new medication allergies.
5. ALLOW FOR 3 WORKING DAYS FOR PREPARATION OF A WRITTEN PRESCRIPTION FOR PICK UP. ALLOW 48 HOURS FOR ALL CALL IN RX’S. IF SOMEONE IS TO PICK UP YOUR RX IN YOUR PLACE, THEY MUST BE ON YOUR HIPAA RELEASE OR BE ACCOMPANIED BY A NOTE SIGNED BY YOU. **Please Initial here that you have read and understand line #5
6. Lost, stolen or misplaced prescriptions or medications may not be replaced. Early requests for refills will not be provided unless you have called and discussed this prior to running out of medication. Selling medication or sharing medication with family, friends, or any other person is illegal and will not be tolerated. You should protect and care for your medication as you would any extremely valuable possession. If you run out of your medication, either because of poor planning or because of taking in excess of what was prescribed, you are responsible for the consequences, including poor pain control and any withdrawal symptoms.
7. PRESCRIPTION REQUESTS WILL BE ADDRESSED MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, 9‐5 ONLY. Prescriptions are not available Friday, weekends, holidays or after office hours. The on‐call physician is on‐call for neurosurgical emergencies only.
8. Notify your physician if you are pregnant.
9. The use of alcohol or recreational drugs while on opiods is not allowed. Our office will not provide medications under these circumstances.
We expect you to take the above patient responsibilities seriously.

MATERIAL RISK NOTICE
There are risks with the use of narcotics. These include, but are not limited to:
1. BRAIN: Sleepiness, difficulty thinking, confusion, impaired balance. 2. LUNG: Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, wheezing, slowing of
breathing rate. 3. STOMACH: Nausea, vomiting, and constipation can be severe. 4. SKIN: Itching, rash. 5. URINARY: Difficultly urinating. 6. ALLERGY: Potential for allergic reaction. 7. DRUG INTERACTION(S): Possibility of interaction with other medications.

be needed to achieve the same pain‐relieving effect. 9. PHYSICAL DEPENDENCE/WITHDRAWAL: Physical dependence develops within
3‐4 weeks when taking these drugs. If they are stopped abruptly, symptoms of withdrawal may occur. These include, but are not limited to, abdominal cramps, abnormal heartbeat, nausea and vomiting, sweating, and flu‐like symptoms. These may be life‐threatening. All controlled substances need to be slowly tapered under direction of your physician or facility.
10. ADDICTION: This refers to the abnormal behavior directed toward acquiring or using drugs in a non‐medically necessary manner. People with a history of drug and/or alcohol abuse are at increased risk of developing an addiction.
By signing this agreement, you affirm that you have the full right and power to be bound by this agreement and that you have read, understood and accepted these terms on both pages of the agreement. No narcotic or otherwise habit‐forming medications will be prescribed without the acceptance of this agreement.
