What is the Act pertaining to narcotic pills?
A wile ago I was looking at a website about narcotic pills and there was a act listed on the page saying that it was against the act to abruptly stop a patient taking narcotic pain killers. The act stated that the doctor had to ease the patient off the narcotic. I cant find this website anymore and really need to know the name of this act. Please help
The "Act" you’re referring to will depend on what country you’re in – as they’re all different. In general terms though – the laws of a country and state (if you have those) are defined within an "Act", and each usually has their own due to the separation of powers between commonwealth/federal responsibilities and state-level responsibilities. Then usually the implementation of those laws may be defined within the "regulations". Do a google search for your country’s health act or your state health act. That may lead you to the specific document.
