Prescription medications can fall into the categories of controlled substances and non-controlled substances. Controlled substances are substances with a high potential for abuse or addiction, regulated and classified by the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency).
Most prescription medications used for chronic conditions and infectious diseases fall into the category of non-controlled substances. They still must be obtained through a prescription by a physician but are not regulated by the DEA.
WellSync’s providers can prescribe a wide range of medications, which can be useful for infections, allergies, and other acute ailments. Please note that our physicians do not prescribe controlled substances at this time. These includes certain drugs such as narcotics or medications that have been designated controlled substances through telehealth.
If you are unsure of whether your medication is a controlled substance, please check with your doctor or pharmacy.
