CVS To Cap Opioid Prescriptions-
CVS Health is joining the battle against the opioid epidemic.
The drugstore chain is expected to announce a plan today to limit opioid prescriptions. CVS provides medications to nearly 90-million people. The company's prescription drug division, CVS Caremark, said it will use its influence to limit initial opioid prescriptions to seven-day supplies for new patients with severe ailments.
CVS will instruct pharmacists to contact doctors when they encounter prescriptions that appear to offer more medication than would be deemed necessary for a patient's recovery. The doctor would be asked to revise it.
CVS also said it will boost funding for addiction programs, counseling and safe disposal of opioids. The announcement comes amid pressure on the medical and pharmaceutical fields to reign in the epidemic.
