Evaluation of the effect of managing oxycodone/acetaminophen as a psychotropic medicine: An interrupted time-series study
Conclusion: Implementation of stricter management for oxycodone/acetaminophen achieved its goal of reducing the risk of misuse in short-term drug users. For those long-term drug users, policy needed to be strengthened as the prescription exceeding 10 days was still at a high level after the intervention. Policies targeting patients with different drug demands are needed. Many other strategies can be implemented, including establishing specific guidelines/principles and conducting training programs.
