Pharmacy Controlled Substance Administrative Rules have been revised and changes are effective as of May 31, 2024. One amendment of note is the removal of Gabapentin, meaning it is no longer classified as a controlled substance in the state. A prescriber without a controlled substance license can now prescribe Gabapentin, and Gabapentin no longer needs to be included in reporting to the Michigan Automated Prescription System (MAPS).
