What is It is a is a centrally-acting, oral analgesic (pain drug) that contains an opioid (narcotic). Often prescribed for those in moderate to severe pain. In 1995, tramadol was originally approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a non-controlled analgesic. However, since 1995, changes to the controlled substance status of tramadol have been made due to reports of drug abuse, misuse and criminal diversion. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) announced that tramadol was placed into schedule IV of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) effective August 18, 2014.
– The new scheduling applies to all forms of tramadol.
– The rescheduling of tramadol came at a time of growing concern related to abuse, misuse, addiction and overdose of opioid analgesics.
– Previously tramadol was a controlled substance in only a few states.
Tramadol prescriptions in the U.S. may now only be refilled up to five times within a six month period after the date on which the prescription was written. After five refills or after six months, whichever occurs first, a new prescription is required. This rule applies to all controlled substances in schedule III and IV.
In a coordinated effort, the New York State Police, along with the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office and the Town of Ramapo Police Department, carried out a successful undercover operation aimed at combating online child exploitation. Conducted over the course of several days, the operation led to the identification and arrest of several individuals involved in illegal activities related to child trafficking and exploitation.
Specialized Investigators used advanced cyber tools and techniques to infiltrate online platforms commonly used to facilitate these crimes. Through these efforts, they were able to track down suspects attempting to exploit minors online and lure them into in-person meetings.
